💛 Daffodil Day 2026 💛

Today our centre came together to show our support for Daffodil Day, a day that raises awareness and supports people impacted by cancer.

To recognise this special day, our educators and children added a touch of yellow to their outfits. 🌼 Throughout the day, the children also had the opportunity to participate in a range of yellow-themed experiences and activities within their room spaces.

It was a lovely way for our centre community to come together, show our support and bring a little extra yellow into our day. 💛🌼

🌼Daffodil Day🌼

Just a friendly reminder that this Thursday, 20th August, is Daffodil Day!

We invite all children to dress in yellow to help us raise awareness and show our support for Cancer Council.

Thank you for helping us support this important cause and for getting involved in our special day! 💛

🍂Nature, Art & Connection to Country🍂

Last week, the children in our nursery connected with nature through a collaborative art experience, using giant leaves as paintbrushes. As they explored the different textures and patterns the leaves created, they worked together to create an artwork inspired by the colours of the Aboriginal Flag as apart of ongoing learning about Aboriginal culture and Country.

To extend the experience, the painted leaves were reused and transformed into a wreath, which will become part nursery Acknowledgement of Country display. Created on a backing made from recycled laminated materials and finished with feathers, the wreath reflects our commitment to sustainability.

🖤💛❤️ NAIDOC Week Celebrations 💙💚🤍

Our children have thoroughly enjoyed celebrating NAIDOC Week through a variety of meaningful and engaging experiences that recognised and celebrated the rich history, culture, and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. 🌿

Throughout the week, the children participated in a range of hands-on activities, including a special visit from Wakka Boy, who shared stories and cultural knowledge, as well as a fun paint-and-sip experience inspired by Indigenous art. 🎨
The children also learned about the meaning of different Aboriginal symbols and explored how they are used to tell stories and represent people, places, and journeys. 🖐️🌀

Our younger children embraced their creativity by painting Australian animals using natural resources collected from our outdoor environment, encouraging a connection with nature while exploring Indigenous perspectives🦘🦋🌿

Along with these experiences, the children created many other special artworks and meaningful creations throughout the week, reflecting their learning, creativity, and appreciation for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. 🎨🖌️❤️

It has been wonderful to see the children's curiosity, respect, and enthusiasm as they learned through play, creativity, and shared experiences. We are so proud of the way our children embraced the spirit of NAIDOC Week and celebrated the world's oldest continuing cultures. 🌏💛
