Neutral Bay Kindergarten

🌏 Protecting Our Planet 🌊

The children continue to show a strong interest in ocean animals and their natural environment. Through group discussions, they explored the impact of ocean pollution and shared ideas about how we can help protect sea creatures and our planet.

To extend their learning, the children participated in a hands-on "Can You Clean the Oil?" experience, investigating the challenges of cleaning polluted water and the importance of caring for our environment.

Together, we are learning that even small actions can make a big difference for our oceans and wildlife. 🐢🐠💙

The children celebrated World Turtle Day by creating their own turtle habitat using turtles, sand, shells, and a variety of sea animals. Through imaginative play and hands-on exploration, the children learned about turtles and their ocean environment while developing creativity, communication, and collaborative skills.

It was wonderful to see the children working together to design a safe and welcoming habitat for the turtles and discussing what turtles need to survive and thrive in the wild.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonder mums ❤️

Lest we forget ❤️

Today we made an NBK oven with the children ☀️
We added cheese, bread, chocolate, and marshmallow to see what would melt, then placed it in the sun and observed the changes throughout the day.
A fun way to build curiosity and scientific thinking 🔍

🧧🐉 Lunar New Year at NBK!
Our children celebrated with hands-on sensory experiences, festive cooking, creative arts and crafts, and an exciting lion dance performance. 🥟🎨🦁
A joyful celebration of culture, creativity, and community. Wishing everyone happiness and prosperity for the year ahead! ✨

Scooping, pouring, and transferring might look like simple play—but there’s so much math happening in these moments! 🧮✨
During our sensory scooping activities, we explored important mathematical concepts like:
🔹 Volume – How much can each container hold?
🔹 Capacity – Which container is bigger or smaller?
🔹 Measurement – How many scoops fill the cup?
🔹 Comparison – Full vs. empty, more vs. less
🔹 Estimation – Predicting before we pour!
As children transferred materials from one container to another, they were building early understanding of conservation of volume, problem-solving, and critical thinking—all through hands-on exploration.
