This morning, we were very excited to welcome the wonderful firefighters from Engadine Fire Station to Cambrai! The children had a fantastic time learning about what firefighters do and, most importantly, how we can keep ourselves safe in an emergency.

We began by asking, “What do firefighters do?”

🗣️ “They help put out fires!” Hudson D

We then asked, “What number do we call if we need help in an emergency?”

📞 “000!” called out all the children together.

The firefighters talked to us about the special protective clothing they wear when responding to a fire. Steven showed the children each piece of his equipment, including his boots, gloves, jacket, pants, oxygen tank and mask. The children were fascinated to see how firefighters protect themselves when entering an emergency situation.

The firefighters then brought out a blanket to represent smoke. As soon as it appeared, the children remembered what they had learned:

🗣️ “Get down low and go, go, go!” Lennox

We all got down low and crawled underneath the blanket. The firefighters explained that if we ever see a firefighter dressed in their protective equipment, we don't need to be afraid — they are there to help us. ❤️

We also talked about what to do if there is a fire at home. The children knew that we call 000 for help and that we should never go back inside, even if we have left our favourite toy behind.

We asked, “What do we do if our clothes catch on fire?”

🗣️ “Maybe call 000!” Mylo
🗣️ “The firefighters will take our clothes off!” John
🗣️ “We stop, drop and roll!” Lennox

Lennox then jumped up and gave us a fantastic demonstration of stop, drop and roll! 👏

We also learned about smoke alarms and how they can detect smoke and alert us to danger. The children enjoyed hearing a demonstration of what a smoke alarm sounds like and discussing why they are so important in keeping our homes safe.

Finally, we talked about having a safe meeting place if there is a fire. The children suggested somewhere that has numbers and where our mail is delivered…

📬 The letterbox!

We all agreed that the letterbox is a great meeting point because it is a familiar place for everyone to find.

A huge thank you to the Engadine firefighters for visiting us, answering our questions and teaching us such important safety skills. 🚒❤️

What a wonderful morning of learning, participation and hands-on experiences

World cup excursion

Our Birrung's have been World cup obsessed! So today we headed to Boso oval to allow the children to practice some skills!

Thank you to Coach Chris (Harry's dad) for running our soccer session this morning!
We began with a warm up and stretch and a game of bullrush, before practising dribbling, stopping and swapping in a game of drive the car.
We then went into some mini games of 6v6, practised some goal kicking (and our celebration dances) before we all joined in for a big game altogether
A huge thank you to Chris for supporting our future Ronaldos!

On Friday afternoon, we were honoured to welcome Gadigal woman and Elder, Aunty Deanna, who joined us for a special afternoon of creativity and connection.

Together, we created our own individual artworks, which Aunty Deanna then enhanced by incorporating her Aboriginal perspective and artistic style.

It was so lovely to see the children expressing themselves creatively and to see how unique and different each of their artworks turned out!

We look forward to bringing these individual pieces together and displaying them as a beautiful collaborative artwork that celebrates creativity, connection and culture.

⭐ STARs this July! ⭐

This July, we invited our parents, grandparents, carers, and special family members to become a STAR – Storyteller and Reader!

Reading with children is one of the most powerful ways to support their language development, literacy skills, imagination, and love of learning. When children hear stories read by different people, they are exposed to a variety of voices, expressions, perspectives, and storytelling styles. This helps to build their listening skills, vocabulary, confidence, and sense of community.

Throughout July, we created a cosy reading space in the Yanada Room during afternoon pick-up times. Families were warmly invited to choose a book from our collection, stay for a few minutes, and share a story with any children who would like to join.

We had lots of family members participate and the children all got so excited to hear someone new tell them a story each afternoon! 📚✨

A big thank you to all our stars! ⭐

On Wednesday we had the privilege of welcoming Jesse, who shared her knowledge of Aboriginal culture and traditions with us. It was a wonderful hands-on learning experience that encouraged the children to develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of Australia's First Nations peoples.

Throughout the session, the children learnt how to say "Hello, I am..." in Dharrawal language and were introduced to the words for kangaroo, echidna, snake and emu. They then enjoyed an exciting game where Jesse called out the animal names in Dharrawal and the children had to quickly run to the correct animal. It was a fun and engaging way to reinforce their learning! 🦘🦔🐍🦤🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

🎨 The children also learnt about traditional Aboriginal body painting. The girls had dots painted on each side of their faces, while the boys had two lines painted down each side of their faces. Jesse explained that these markings are inspired by traditional ceremonial body paint, with different patterns and symbols representing identity, connection, culture and community.

We also had the opportunity to explore a variety of traditional Aboriginal hunting tools and learnt about how they were used to hunt and gather food. The children were fascinated to see the different artefacts and enjoyed listening to and learning about clapping sticks, which are traditionally used in music, storytelling and ceremonies. 🪃🎶
