Uniting Early Learning Toowong

Coming together for our staff meeting as a team, we discussed our community engagement ideas. Through in depth discussions and collaboration we have more exciting avenues to pursue.

Congratulations to our wonderful Auslan support staff.
Whetu, Oceania & Kit are all heading to The Deaf Games for futsal, netball & touch football.

Our Nursery children enjoyed a sensory vibrant sensory painting experience, exploring colours through hands & feet. Miss Oceania & Miss Whetu supported the children using Auslan, helping to name the colours and describe the sensations they experienced on their hands and feet.

Our final day of Introduction to Auslan training marked a significant milestone. We have gained valuable foundational skills that will enhance our ability to communicate effectively with children and families.

UEL Toowong & UEL Jahjumbeen had the privilege of being invited to Under 8’s day at St Ignatius. Dressed in our excursion attire, we made our way to the school to enjoy some fun activities.
’sday

Outdoor play provides rich opportunities for children to develop social skills in a natural and meaningful way. As they explore their playground hide and imagine together, they practise communication and cooperation. The open environment encourages children to negotiate roles, support one another, and form strong, positive relationships. These shared experiences help them build confidence, empathy, and a sense of belonging.

Encouraging children to care for our environment, Adeline’s Adventure Show helped the children understand not only the importance of putting rubbish in the bin, but also how to choose the correct coloured bin for different types of waste.
This experience created a wonderful opportunity for the service to discuss where our scraps and rubbish go and why responsible waste sorting matters.

Our Wildlife Rangers Animal show was a huge hit. The children were absolutely spellbound as each creature was brought out for them to pat and admire.

When the kookaburra burst into his loud, cheeky call, the whole group exploded with laughter. It was one of those unforgettable moments where every child’s face lit up with pure delight.
