Children have been curious as they continue to explore in their learning and see things within their own mind. In addition to that, Pre-prep teachers support and encourage this exploration by playing a vital role in teaching the children to care for animals and teachers. This leads to a discussion as children then put the snail back to the garden, promoting the children to understand the nature of its kind.

In the pre-prep room, they continue to learn about our embedded practices in acknowledging Aboriginal culture and marking the National Sorry Day, while implementing our Reconciliation Action Plan through everyday experiences.

Children in nursery two were provided with a variety of objects to investigate, utilising wooden magnifying glasses. The children demonstrated excitement and curiosity as they explored different colours, closely inspecting objects. This experience was created to foster children's innate curiosity, promoting hands-on investigation. The magnifying glasses enhanced the development of observation skills and focus.

In observance of National Road Safety Week, toddlers are engaging in educational activities focused on road traffic signs. Furthermore, they are utilizing eco-friendly cardboard materials to create the signs and learn about them through collaborative group work. The children have also participated in outdoor activities that allow them to apply their knowledge of traffic lights. The educator presents the signs to the children, who then demonstrate their understanding through action.

To celebrate National Road Safety Week, Kinder Children engaged in a hands-on experience with road pieces, road signs, cars, people figurines and Stop Look Listen visuals, which enabled them to design and build their own model town with roads. This play-based experience promotes children's learning about their environment, recognition of traffic signs and lights.

In celebration of National Road Safety Week, our children embarked on an informative and enjoyable excursion to the car park. Accompanied by their own bicycles, they rode around the bike track, carefully designed by our educators. Throughout the experience, they learned crucial road safety skills, including compliance with road rules, safe pedestrian crossing practices, and maintaining a safe distance while riding and driving. It was heartening to see the children actively engaged, building confidence, and developing their understanding of road safety while having an enjoyable time with their friends.
