Moments of wonder 💭
Today one of the children found a feather in the backyard!
“I wonder where it came from” I said.
“Bird in tree” one of the children responded.
“I wonder what type of bird has feathers like that?” This question had the children thinking and searching the surrounding trees to see what birds we could see.

The children quickly gathered around to search in one of our bird books for the matching bird to our feather. After a few pages, the children noticed the magpie had black and white feathers just like our feather! We continued to read the book and notice the other birds and their feathers, concluding that it must’ve been a magpie’s feather.

This was such a beautiful moment of wondering, engagement, curiosity and connection with one another as well as connecting with Country and noticing the natural beauty that surrounds us!

Book making with 5 year olds 📚
Book making is such a wonderful opportunity for children to explore books in a different perspective, noticing what makes up a book and begin to think like an author. Book making supports the development of pre-literacy skills and ignites creativity and imagination!

The sandpit is a favourite space amongst my little friends and a great space to connect with one another to work as a team as well as negotiate the space and the tools available with one another! A great space to develop problem solving skills, language and communication skills, our social skills and strengthen our gross and fine motor skills!

I’ve had a lovely little break with my family but very much ready to get back into the routine of daycare and see all the children again for another year of learning, playing and growing in all aspects! ✨

Making our own orange and lemon juice 🍋🍊
We explored the fruit through cutting, squeezing, squashing, tasting and smelling! We talked about the different smells and tastes we noticed - “yuck” “delicious” “sour” “juicy” were amongst some of the language the children used.

Strengthening our gross motor skills & hand-eye coordination + expanding our vocabulary and communication skills + connecting with one another and further developing social skills and other learning dispositions like persistence, curiosity and cooperation!

Thank you to one of my good friends who had an abundance of lemons on her tree! 🍋 💕

5 little speckled frogs 🐸
How gorgeous are these little finger puppets made by my Nan 😍! A beautiful addition to our playspace to promote literacy development and connection with one another ✨

We're raising the first generation with underdeveloped vestibular systems.

Walk into any kindergarten. You'll see children who struggle to jump through a hopscotch path, swing independently, balance across low beams without falling off, sit sedentary in the sandpit, and feel lost during transitions.

What has changed?

Movement opportunities.

Previous generations climbed trees, rode bikes everywhere, constantly had a ball in their hand, lived on playground equipment, and wrestled/played 'stacks on' with siblings.

Current generation watches screens, sits in car seats, does sedentary structured activities at a table, and stays indoors.

The result? Poor core strength affecting handwriting. Short attention spans because they need movement to focus. Increased anxiety because movement calms the nervous system. Motor delays from missed critical development windows.

I'm not anti-technology. I'm pro-development. We don't have to say no to screens, we just need to make sure children are still able to build the foundation skills that they need.

Fresh air, bare feet, slow pace days full of playing and exploring together is what we love ✨

DIY pipe cleaner bubble wands were a hit today 🙌🏼 (and I can’t even take the credit because it was led by my 4.5 year old daughter 😂). I had just as much fun running down the grass trying to create giant bubbles for the children to observe and pop - so much fun and laughter from all of us!

Making playdough together ✨
All the children in my groups thoroughly enjoy mixing, pouring, scooping and other “cooking” like actions in the mud-kitchen so I thought it was about time we made playdough together!

Playdough is a very much loved sensory experience amongst all my children and just exploring playdough itself has so many benefits! But actually making the playdough together adds another array of learning outcomes and fundamental skills.

This experience was an invitation to participate (as all of our experiences are) but of course everyone wanted to be involved! We took turns scooping, pouring and mixing - carefully observing one another and working together as a team to create a batch of playdough!

Both my groups took different paths towards the end which I absolutely love! One group further explored the leftover ingredients and cooking tools, adding more water from our handwashing bucket and mixing it altogether and the other group were keen to play and explore with the playdough we had made, using the different tools and objects. This is where child-led learning comes in.

I planned this experience based on previous observations, and the children then had the freedom to take it from there - following their own interests and create their own learning pathways. This also meant that, regardless of age, the children can explore and learn in a way that is meaningful to them, often resulting in deeper levels of engagement.

There were so many authentic learning pathways that occurred in these “after” moments that simply wouldn’t have occurred had I packed up and moved on (which unfortunately happens a lot). It’s SO important that we follow the children’s lead and provide ample opportunities for children to lead their play and their learning. (Sorry I ramble - I’m just really passionate about this).

This was such a lovely, collaborative experience with lots of learning weaved throughout - think numeracy (volume/capacity/counting), following steps, listening and waiting, social skills, engaging with text & symbols (literacy), communication, problem solving, experimenting & fine motor development!

The other night I participated in an immersive art experience with Uncle Tamaru, a Kaurna Elder. We looked at different Kaurna symbols, their meanings and how to incorporate this into art with children. One of the comments that Uncle Tamaru made, that stood out to me, was that if you are creating artwork with Kaurna / Aboriginal symbols, you must also incorporate your own cultural symbols (such as the dog my daughter added).

Uncle Tamaru also shared many stories about his culture and ways we can move forward together, incorporating and embedding cultural awareness within our services.

This was a fantastic professional development opportunity and I’m so grateful to have had the chance to meet Uncle Tamaru and learn a little bit more about Kaurna culture through an educational lens.
