🦷 Dental Health Week Highlights! 🪥
As part of Dental Health Week, we’ve been learning about how to take care of our teeth and why dental hygiene is so important.
During group time, the children shared when and why they brush their teeth, and we had some wonderful conversations about keeping our teeth healthy and clean.
To build on this learning, we set up a creative playdough teeth activity! The children used playdough to make sets of teeth, exploring the shape and structure while using their imaginations. It was a fun and hands-on way to extend their understanding through play.
We’re excited to continue exploring healthy habits in engaging ways throughout the week!

🌧️ Rainy Day Adventures ! 🚤💦
Today’s rainy weather didn’t stop us — it inspired us! The children had a wonderful time learning how to fold their very own paper boats and testing them out in puddles and water pods. Dressed in our cosy raincoats and colourful gumboots, we splashed, explored, and enjoyed every moment outdoors.
Through this playful experience, children discovered cause and effect, explored floating and sinking, and most importantly — had so much fun in nature! 🌿✨

As part of our NAIDOC Week celebrations, the children explored Aboriginal symbols used in art and storytelling. Using flashcards featuring rainbows, camps, animal tracks and more, they created their own drawings with coloured pencils. A meaningful experience that encouraged creativity, connection, and cultural learning.
This week, we come together to celebrate NAIDOC Week 2025, honouring the culture, history, and ongoing contributions of our First Nations people. 🖤💛❤️
We began our week with a heartfelt Acknowledgement of Country, followed by singing “Care for Country” and “Tabanaba” — songs that help us connect to the land, sea, and spirit of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures.
Through music, movement, and meaningful conversation, we are learning the importance of caring for Country and respecting the voices of those who have cared for this land for generations.
Let’s continue to listen, learn, and walk together.

🌿🪲 Insect Week Fun! 🐞🔍
Today our little explorers went on a bug hunt in the garden! Using magnifying glasses, they searched for hidden insects, spotted tiny wings and patterns like the black dots on a ladybug, and shared what they already knew about bugs. 🕷️✨
The excitement didn’t stop there – with curious minds and creative hands, they drew their own insects using colours and patterns they observed. A beautiful mix of science, imagination, and play! 🎨💡
