South Mornington Pre School

Our 3/4-year-old group have recently shown a strong interest in termites and ants, sparking many conversations and questions about these fascinating insects. To support their curiosity, we have set up a range of engaging experiences, including insect investigations, sensory play and natural materials, and creative activities inspired by termite mounds and ant nests. These experiences encourage the children to explore, discover, and develop a deeper understanding of the natural world through hands-on learning and play. 🌿

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Mornington Bunnings for their generous recent donations. Thanks to your support, we were able to give our fairy garden a wonderful refresh, creating an inviting and engaging space for the children to explore, imagine, and play. Your contribution has helped bring joy and creativity to our outdoor environment, and we are truly grateful for your kindness and community spirit 🌟

Our little learners became compost detectives today! Exploring what worms can and can’t eat, discovering how compost is made, and learning how these tiny creatures help care for our environment. Hands-on learning at its best 🪱🌱

Storytelling, art, and little hands at work. Inspired by a colorful book, we explored creativity through paint, pattern, and imagination. Every snake was unique, and every brushstroke told its own story 🎨🐍💛

Our children have been enjoying their adventures at Bush Kinder, exploring the Briars and connecting with nature each week. They have been carefully observing the changing water levels, spotting emus along the way, and using sticks and leaves they find in the environment to create little homes for animals. These experiences encourage curiosity, creativity, and a deeper appreciation for the natural world. 🦆🍃🌿

Our children continuing their exploration of colour through painting experiences and by reading the story How the Birds Got Their Colours. Inspired by the book, the children used paint, feathers, and patty pans to creatively design and make their own colourful birds 🎨🐦🌈

Yesterday, for World Bee Day, we brought clay to Bush Kinder and invited the children to create their own bees using natural materials found within our bush space

This experience encouraged imaginative play, fine motor development, problem-solving, and a deeper connection with nature. The children showed great care in selecting materials and proudly shared their unique creations with one another 🐝💛
