🎨 Painting & Sensory Exploration 🎨

Our preschool children enjoyed the opportunity to explore open-ended painting, discovering colour, texture and movement through their senses.

With no set outcome, the children were encouraged to experiment freely feeling the paint, mixing colours, making different marks and discovering how the materials changed as they explored. 🌈🖌️

Sensory painting supports creativity, self-expression, fine motor development and curiosity, while giving children the opportunity to learn through hands-on discovery.

Sometimes the most meaningful learning happens when children are simply given the time, space and freedom to explore. 💛

🎨 Magic Milk Experiment - in action! 🥛

Our little scientists in N2 had so much fun exploring our Magic Milk Experiment for National Science week! 🧪

They used milk, colourful food dyes and a little dish soap to create amazing swirling patterns. The children watched in excitement as the colours moved and mixed across the milk. 🌈

This was a great opportunity for the children to make predictions, observe changes, ask questions and explore cause and effect through hands-on learning.

We love seeing our little scientists’ curiosity in action!💡

🧪🌈 Science Week: Magic Milk Experiment! 🌈🧪

To celebrate Science Week, our little scientists got hands-on with a fun and colourful Magic Milk Experiment! 🥛🔬

The children explored what happened when we combined milk, colourful food dyes and dish soap. Using cotton swabs dipped in dish soap, they watched in amazement as the colours began to swirl, move and dance across the milk. 🎨✨

This simple experiment encouraged the children to make predictions, observe changes, ask questions and explore cause and effect through hands-on learning.

There were plenty of “Wow!” moments, curiosity and discovery as our little scientists investigated the magic happening right before their eyes! 💛🧪

🌿 The Power of Outdoor Loose Parts 🌿

Here at Journey Durack Heights, we have a wonderful array of outdoor loose parts that provide endless opportunities for creativity, exploration and learning! 🪵

From tyres, PVC pipes and wooden stumps to crates and plastic spools, our children are encouraged to use these resources in their own unique ways. One day they might become an obstacle course, the next a construction site, a shop or part of an imaginative adventure!

Our loose parts encourage children to problem-solve, collaborate, create, build and use their imaginations, while also developing balance, coordination, strength and confidence. 🌱

We love seeing where our children's ideas and imaginations take them when they are given the freedom to create! ❤️

🌳🛝 Preschool Playground Visit 🌈☀️

Our Preschool children enjoyed a visit to the local playground, where they had the opportunity to explore the outdoor environment, engage in active play and enjoy time together. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ The children had lots of fun climbing, balancing, running and exploring the different areas of the playground. 🧗‍♀️⚖️ It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to enjoy outdoor play in a new environment. 💚🌿

Visiting the park provides children with opportunities to develop their physical skills through running, climbing, balancing and exploring. 💪🧗‍♂️ It encourages confidence, independence and safe risk-taking as children navigate different play equipment and environments. 🌟 Park visits also support social development as children practise sharing spaces, taking turns and interacting with their peers. 🤝😊 Spending time outdoors promotes wellbeing, curiosity and connection with the natural environment. 🌿☀️💚
