🍉 FUN FACT MONDAY – Future Foodies! 🍉

Today our Future Foodies program sparked some amazing curiosity when our wonderful chef, Leonie, brought in two very different watermelons for the children to explore, compare and, of course, taste! 💛❤️

When they were cut open, the children discovered that one was the familiar bright red while the other was golden yellow. This led to some fantastic conversations about why watermelons can look the same on the outside but be completely different on the inside!

A fun fact we discovered is that watermelons actually grow separate male and female flowers on the same vine. 🌱 The male flowers provide the pollen, while the female flowers are the ones that can grow into watermelons once pollinated. The red or yellow colour inside isn’t because the watermelon itself is male or female — it comes down to the variety of watermelon. 🍉💛

Our Future Foodies program is about so much more than simply trying different foods. It creates opportunities for children to explore where food comes from, use their senses, ask questions, make predictions and build positive connections with new and interesting foods.

A huge thank you to Leonie for bringing something a little different into the centre and turning today’s tasting into such a wonderful learning opportunity. The conversations, questions and surprised faces when that yellow watermelon was cut open were priceless! 💛🍉

💚 INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY – EVERY VOICE MATTERS 💚

To celebrate International Youth Day and the theme “Every Voice Matters,” our children were invited to express themselves in a way that felt meaningful to them. Across our learning spaces, children explored drawing, painting, colour, mark making and sensory experiences, showing us that a child’s “voice” can be communicated in so many different ways — not only through words.

For our youngest children, voice can be a gesture, a facial expression, a movement, a choice or the way they interact with the materials around them. For our older children, it can be sharing their ideas, making decisions and representing their thoughts creatively.

As educators, it is our role to notice, listen and respond to all of these different ways children communicate. When we provide genuine opportunities for children to make choices and express their ideas, we are showing them that their thoughts matter, their choices matter and their voices deserve to be heard. 💚

A beautiful reflection of our centre vision and our commitment to keeping children’s voices at the heart of our curriculum. 🌱

🌈 SCOOP, MIX, EXPLORE! 🌈

Our Toddler children got hands-on with a colourful sensory experience, exploring a mixture of cornflour, oil and food colouring. As they scooped, poured, filled and emptied the mixture, they watched the colours begin to combine and change, experimenting with cause and effect while discovering different textures through their hands.

There was also some wonderful schema play happening here! We could see the transporting schema as the children repeatedly scooped and moved the mixture from one place and container to another, as well as elements of the trajectory schema as they pushed the cars through the mixture and created tracks and pathways.

Schemas are repeated patterns of play that help children make sense of how things work. These seemingly simple actions are building foundations for future learning, including problem-solving, mathematical thinking around volume and capacity, scientific thinking, prediction, spatial awareness and fine-motor control. Scooping, grasping, pouring and manipulating the mixture also strengthens the small muscles and hand-eye coordination children will later use for skills such as drawing, writing, using scissors and managing everyday tasks independently.

Sometimes the messiest play has the most learning hiding inside it! 💙💚🩷

Learning & Development – Growing Together 🌱

There’s nothing better than coming together as a team to learn, connect and have a few laughs along the way!

Our recent Learning & Development session was filled with fun team-building games that challenged us to communicate, problem-solve and work together. There was plenty of friendly competition, lots of cheering each other on, and even more laughter. These moments help strengthen the relationships within our team, making us an even stronger support network for one another and, in turn, for the children and families in our care.

We also began an exciting project that will continue to grow over the year as each room started designing their Possum Skin Pelt. Every room is creating artwork that tells the story of their learning journey, celebrating the experiences, relationships and moments that have shaped their year. Inspired by the significance of Possum Skin Cloaks in Aboriginal culture as a way of sharing stories, identity and connection, our pelts will become a meaningful representation of each room's unique story.

We can't wait to share how each room's designs develop over the coming months. 💛🖤❤️

🦕✨ Learning Through Schemas ✨🦕

Did you know that children often repeat the same actions because they're exploring a schema?

A schema is a repeated pattern of play that helps children make sense of the world around them. Rather than simply "playing," children are testing ideas, solving problems, and building new understandings.

In this invitation, our children explored the Transporting Schema as they scooped, moved, uncovered, and covered the sensory materials to discover the hidden dinosaurs beneath. As they repeated these actions, they were developing hand-eye coordination, problem-solving skills, and persistence while investigating how materials and objects can be moved and manipulated.

By recognising schemas, we can better understand the thinking behind the play, allowing us to extend children's learning in meaningful and intentional ways.

Sometimes, what looks like simple sensory play is actually children building big ideas through repeated exploration. 💚

Happy Happiness Happens Day! 😄💛

Happiness really does happen in the most unexpected ways!

Our Kinder teachers were feeling a little tired and decided they needed a quick pick-me-up. Out came the colourful scarves, some very impressive moustaches were drawn on, and before long, everyone was laughing.

It didn't take long for the children to notice. They wanted to join in too, asking for their own moustaches and embracing the fun with huge smiles and lots of giggles. What started as a simple way to lift the educators' spirits quickly became a joyful moment shared by everyone.

Days like this remind us that happiness can be found in the little things. A laugh, a silly idea, and a willingness to be playful can create meaningful connections and memories that last long after the moustaches have been washed away.

Sometimes the best learning happens when we laugh together. 💙🧡

Happy Happiness Happens Day from all of us at Journey Early Learning Werribee! 🌟

💙👖 Jeans for Genes Day 👖💙

Today, our Nursery children celebrated Jeans for Genes Day with a denim-inspired painting experience.

Using different shades of blue paint on pieces of denim, the children explored colour, texture, and creativity while developing their fine motor skills. Along the way, we encouraged conversations with the question, "What kind of blue feels right for your jeans today?" 💙
