🌍✨ Earth Day 2026 at Keli’s Little Gems ✨🌍

Today we celebrated our beautiful planet through invitations to play — one of our favourite ways to bring learning to life! From exploring “Earth Day” small world scenes 🌊 to sorting recycling ♻️ and counting apples on our trees 🍎, the children led their own learning through curiosity, creativity and hands-on discovery.

At Keli’s Little Gems, we believe learning should feel magical… and a little bit messy too 💚
What did our little gems learn today?
✨ The importance of caring for our planet
✨ Understanding recycling (paper, plastic, metal)
✨ Early maths skills through counting, sorting & number recognition
✨ Communication & language through discussions about the world
✨ Imaginative play and storytelling
✨ Understanding the world – oceans, land and living things
✨ Fine motor skills through hands-on exploration

💬 “Children learn best through play, when they are actively involved and deeply engaged.” – EYFS

We are so proud of how our children explored, questioned and made connections about the world around them 🌎💫

Today’s carefully planned activity… was absolutely not planned at all 😂

One of our little gems discovered that going under the slide = instant spiky hair and giggles galore ⚡️

Cue a full-on child-led learning moment about static electricity (and a LOT of shocked faces… literally 😆)

Who knew a slide could turn us into mini scientists?!

✨ What started as fun turned into learning:
⚡Exploring static electricity (hello, science in action!)
⚡Noticing changes in our hair and materials
⚡Asking questions and making predictions (“Will it happen again?!”)
⚡Lots of laughter, confidence, and shared curiosity

💎 The Gems learned:
🧠 Rubbing and friction can create static
🧠 Different materials react in different ways
🧠 It’s okay to be curious and test ideas
🧠 Learning can happen ANYWHERE (even under a slide!)

Sometimes the best moments are the ones you didn't plan 💫

Hip hop hooray! The biggest gem bestie birthday!! 🎈 🎂
