Today, our caterpillar and butterfly friends built three houses of hay, sticks and bricks, inspired by the Three Little Pigs book. Firstly, they helped to collect sticks in the yard and then, continued to build the pig houses by applying glue on the cardboard, sticking hay, sticks and little brick pieces on the cardboard.

💚Recycled Materials 💚
Today within our outdoor yard, the butterfly and caterpillar friends used recycled boxes to paint, once the boxes were dry they used them to create cubby houses, buildings and much, much more!
🧠 Every conversation matters more than we realise.
Long before children learn to read and write, they're learning through everyday conversations:
A question during play. A story at group time.
A chat over lunch. A moment of curiosity in the garden.
These simple interactions help children build language, confidence, communication skills and a lifelong love of learning.
At Story House, our educators intentionally create opportunities for meaningful conversations throughout the day because we know some of the most powerful learning happens through connection.

Within our service our Bumblebug friends have been extending their learning on from our NAIDOC Week experiences. The children have developed an interest in fire, which led to the discussion of a campfire. With the children's keen interest in campfires, we have set up a camping area for them to explore and role-play what camping looks like for them. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
