I don't know how many of you are old enough to know the iconic 80's song "I've been to Bali Too", but we've been hearing the phrase quite a bit in the Wombat Kindy room recently! With so many Bali experts, there were a lot of excited stories at group time when learning about today's destination: beautiful Bali. Some of our learners brought in photos of their Bali adventures, and one shared his golden Bali turtle. We explored our globe to work out if Bali was in the South or North Pole, if the trip there would be longer or shorter than to New Zealand or England, and worked out that the first letter in Bali was B, which meant that we could need to find the B stamp to mark our passports. We learned about Balinese dancers and Balinese wildlife (there were plenty of funny stories about monkeys). We also learned a very interesting, old Bali law: because of the Balinese people's deep respect for nature, no buildings can be built above the height of the tallest coconut trees.

Wise Owl was once again linked to finding ways to hear the 'helpful voice' that supports us to make brave, thoughtful decisions. The Traffic Light system, which John has introduced in the last two weeks, will be a useful strategy for us to draw on when we begin to explore the feelings and events related to transitions to school.

We had this lovely Spiny Leaf Insect and her three babies visit today. Mr A was keen to tell us about her needs, her eucalyptus diet and lovingly chosen name. Meet Chrystally (spelling is approximate 😉).

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, 中秋节快乐 (Zhōng qiū jié kuài lè),

During our yarning circle, Wantong shared the traditional story of Chang’e, the Moon Fairy, and the Wombats became part of the story themselves. Some of our learners volunteered to help act out different parts of the story. They listened carefully, remembered their lines and worked together to bring the story to life.

It was wonderful to see the children recalling details from yesterday’s story and confidently using their voices to participate in the retelling.

Wantong (Kindergarten teacher) also introduced the Wombats to a very special flower associated with this time of year in China — osmanthus.

Osmanthus flowers are tiny, but they have a beautiful and distinctive fragrance. During the Mid-Autumn season, osmanthus is often enjoyed in different foods and drinks in China.

The Wombats kindy group had the opportunity to smell some osmanthus syrup and share their thoughts about its sweet and floral fragrance. We are going to have our very own osmanthus tea ceremony, enjoying the tea alongside the mooncakes we made together.

Thank you to the lovely Merv and his crew at South Brisbane Men's Shed for building us a fancy new Street Library. It has been brought to life with a dash of green paint by one of our grandparents and secured in place by one of our families - thank you! It takes a village after all!!

Our library is stocked and ready for use - top shelf for our youngest readers and the bottom is full of books adults might enjoy.

"Street Libraries are a window into the mind of a community; books come and go; no-one needs to check them in or out. People can simply reach in and take what interests them; when they are done, they can return them to the Street Library network, or pass them on to friends.

If anyone has a book or two that they think others would enjoy, they can just pop it into any Street Library they happen to be walking past."

They are a symbol of trust and hope – a tiny vestibule of literary happiness.

PS if you wander past and she is messy, dig out your inner librarian and give it a tidy up for the next person please.
