It’s Book Week, and while many schools and early learning settings mark the event by inviting children to dress up as a beloved character, it’s all about nurturing a love for literature. Whether it’s curling up together with a treasured favourite, scheduling a trip to the local library, or making time to squeeze in a few extra pages at bedtime, there are so many ways to make “book time” a regular time to connect with your child. Try asking

• Would you like to choose a book you know, or a new book?
• Would you like a made-up story or a book about facts?
• What is his/her face telling us?
• What do you think is going to happen next?
• Who was your favourite character? What did you like about them?
• If you wanted to change the ending of the book to something different, what could have happened instead?

SCIENCE WEEK has officially begun! STEM is a big part of early learning, but it's not all about experiments and special materials. Scientific thinking grows by embracing curiosity, exploration and collaboration, and children are naturally inquisitive about, well, EVERYTHING!!

The pros at Science Week teamed up with the University of Canberra to develop fun activities for children aged 2-5, which align with the Early Years Learning Framework and use easy-to-access materials. Like these great bubble mix recipes! What can you find at home to make the biggest bubble?
