Snake Awareness at KDK** 🐍

As the weather warms up, snake awareness continues to be an important part of our daily routines.

Before we enter the garden or engage in loose parts play, our educators always take the time to talk with the children and young people about snake safety. These conversations are calm, clear, and age-appropriate, helping everyone feel confident and prepared.

We always begin by talking through *what to do if a snake is seen*Rhianna Hallidayhildren and young people know to:

* Cross their arms
* Stand very still
* Say “snake”

If an educator is not close by or cannot hear, the children are taught to tell the person beside them and calmly pass the message along until an educator can assist and respond.

Our service has a clear risk assessment in place that outlines how educators, children, and young people should respond safely and appropriately, and this is followed at all times.

This morning, Miss Rhianna led the children through these instructions, reinforcing the importance of staying calm, listening carefully, and looking out for one another.

We are so proud of how confidently and sensibly the children and young people engage in these conversations. Snake awareness is all about education, preparedness, and keeping everyone safe while still enjoying our beautiful outdoor spaces 🌿
