🐸 Extending Our Frog Inquiry Through Literacy & Numeracy! 🐸

Following the children’s wonderful frog inquiry in Kinder 1, our Kinder 2 children have also been showing a growing interest in frogs and are excited to visit the frog pond.

To extend their curiosity and learning, teachers created an inviting outdoor frog-themed learning space where children can explore numbers, counting and tracing through playful, hands-on experiences.

As children count the bugs, match numbers and practise tracing, they are developing early mathematical and literacy skills while continuing to build on their shared fascination with frogs.

One inquiry, many possibilities for learning! 🐸

Ever had one of those "What should I be doing with my child?" moments? You might already have the answer at home.

Earlier this year, every Goodstart family received a What & When for Families guide for each child. If it's been tucked away in a drawer since then, now might be the perfect time to pull it back out.

The guide is packed with simple, play-based activities that support your child's learning and development at home. Best of all, it's written in your child's voice, with ideas tailored to their age and developmental stage.

From singing songs with babies and playing peek-a-boo, to "I Spy" games, storytelling and treasure hunts with older children, the activities are designed to fit naturally into everyday moments you already share together.

We know learning doesn't only happen in the classroom. Those small moments at home can help build big communication, language and literacy skills.

Take another look through your What & When for Families guide to explore age-appropriate activities and learning ideas you can try together.

💛 Sometimes the best learning resource is the one you already have at home.

🐦 Birds Are Back! 🌿

Our Kinder children have been noticing the changing weather and the return of birds to our yard. Their curiosity grew as they observed the different birds visiting and even gave them their own special names, including “Everyday Bird” and “Boomerang”!

Inspired by their bird discoveries, the children turned their observations and ideas into beautiful artwork. Through creativity, imagination and collaboration, they brought their learning to life on paper.

We are so proud of their wonderful creations and are excited to showcase their artwork as we get ready for the Art Competition!

Sharing some beautiful moments from this special learning experience.
