Goodstart Early Learning Wulagi

This morning, Miss Stavroula spotted a beautiful rainbow lorikeet in our yard who needed a little bit of extra help 🌈🦜

The children were fascinated by the colourful creature, who was kindly taken over to the vet by one of our wonderful veterinarian mums.

It was a great opportunity for the children to learn how to care and show compassion for our native wildlife in a real-life situation! 👩‍⚕️💚

We’ve been out and about! 🛝☀️

Our Preschoolers enjoyed challenging their physical abilities on their excursion to the Wulagi Primary School playground. They loved racing down the slide and climbing up the ladders!

It was a great opportunity for the children to get out and about in their local community while developing their movement skills.

Today we gathered together to take part in National Simultaneous Storytime 📚✨

This special event celebrates literacy, imagination and connection through the shared joy of reading together.

This year’s featured book, Luna Roo the Kangaroo Baller, tells the story of Luna, a rookie captain who learns to quiet her self-doubt, believe in her abilities and trust the support of her team mates ⚽️🦘

Through stories like this, children are encouraged to build confidence, resilience and a love for reading 💛

Stacking, balancing and constructing 👷

Check out this beautiful provocation created by our Nursery team to invite the children to explore balance, gravity, spatial awareness and problem solving through constructive play. 🌱

Our little learners in our Nursery have been enjoying the beautiful, dry season mornings through creative mark making experiences ☀️🎨

Using paint and easels, the children explored colour and movement while expressing their creativity and developing their fine motor skills through play.

This morning, our Preschoolers enjoyed a special visit from Hector the Cat and Annelise, who delivered an engaging and educational road safety session. ⚠️

Through interactive learning, the children explored safety practices such as stop 🛑, look 👀, listen 👂 and think 💭 before crossing the road, as well as the importance of holding an adult’s hand. 🤝

We also discussed safety strategies including wearing a helmet when riding a bike and ensuring seatbelts are securely fastened in the car. 🚴‍♂️

With Easter just around the corner, our children in our Nursery 2 room have been engaging in play experiences that invite them to explore different materials and read Easter stories to introduce them to the celebration. 🐣🌸

We are so lucky to have educators who have come from all over the world! 🌏🧡

Our team provide enriching learning opportunities shaped by their diverse cultures, languages and lived experiences. ✨ Through song, dance, cooking, language and play children develop their understanding of diversity and culture.

The children in our Toddler’s room have been busy getting their hands dirty and growing their gardening skills 🪴🪏

Last week, they planted cucumber, tomato and rocket seeds and today, they were so excited to discover their very first sprouts!

Gardening gives children the opportunity to connect with nature, learn how food grows, and develop a sense of care and responsibility for the world around them 🌱🌏
