Following our food menu review and our ongoing focus on incorporating healthy vegetables into the children’s diets, we extended this learning into our everyday practice.
The children were actively involved in planting vegetables and herbs for our chef to use in cooking. Through this hands-on experience, they developed an understanding of where food comes from, how plants grow, and the importance of including fresh vegetables and herbs in our meals.
This experience demonstrates how our critical reflection process informs and strengthens our practice. We reflected on our menu and identified opportunities to meaningfully involve the children in healthy eating experiences. By connecting our reflections to real-life learning, we created opportunities for children to contribute, make choices, develop sustainable practices, and build positive relationships with healthy food.
Through gardening, cooking and shared conversations, we are embedding healthy eating and sustainability into our curriculum in meaningful and engaging ways.

Hmmmm…….i wonder what Zac, Abbi and Artie are up to in the corner? As I walked closer, I realised they were building a camp fire and I was invited to light the fire!🔥 The children were making sense of their world…….so much learning, imagination, cooperation and more.

Process art versus template…….which is more beneficial?
We have been reflecting as a team the benefits of process arts versus templates in learning experiences with children following their ideas, curiosity, imagination and much more.

The research is clear 📚 reading aloud is one of the most powerful things we can do for our children.

When we read with a child, we’re doing far more than sharing a story. We’re building the foundations for language, confidence, curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.

Decades of research shows that children who are read to regularly:

💛 Build stronger language skills
Hearing rich varied language in books exposes children to far more words than everyday conversation alone. This growing vocabulary helps them understand, communicate and make sense of the world.

💛 Develop early literacy skills long before they learn to read
Through stories, children learn how books work – that print carries meaning, that pages turn left to right, and that stories have a beginning, middle and end. These early understandings make learning to read feel familiar and exciting.

💛 Strengthen phonological awareness
Rhymes, rhythms and playful sounds help children hear the building blocks of language.

💛 Grow their comprehension and thinking skills
Talking together about a story, predicting what might happen, wondering how a character feels, and connecting events to real life helps children develop memory, problem-solving, and higher-order thinking.

💛 Experience connection, comfort and joy
Shared reading fosters calmness, closeness, and moments of joint attention. These warm interactions support a child's sense of security and belonging.

Most importantly, children who experience positive, engaging reading moments from a young age are more likely to develop a genuine love of books - something that matters even more than early literacy skills alone.

Reading is simple, joyful, and sets children up for success in school and life.
