✨ Home Heroes – Festive Edition | Session 9: Family Helper Celebration ✨

Today, our Home Heroes brought together everything they have learned throughout the programme in our final Impact Day.

The day focused on reflection, gratitude, teamwork, and independence. Children carefully removed the Christmas decorations together, learning how to close a chapter with care and respect. Alongside this, they created gratitude cards to give to family members or community helpers, expressing appreciation in ways that were meaningful for their age.

During the Home Helper Expo, children proudly showcased the practical skills they have achieved, from caring for shared spaces and daily routines to problem solving and helping at home. Each child shared something they felt proud of and committed to ways they can continue being helpers within their families and communities.

The session closed with a shared gratitude circle, allowing children to reflect on their growth, thank one another, and recognise the kindness and support they experienced throughout camp.

We are incredibly proud of every Home Hero and the journey they have taken with us 🤍

✨ Our next camp will be announced tomorrow ✨ Stay tuned.

✨ Home Heroes – Festive Edition | Day 8: Fix It Basics ✨

Today at camp, our Home Heroes explored Fix It basics, learning that everyday problems can often be solved with patience, care, and the right tools.

Children were introduced to different tools and their purposes, learning when and how they are used safely. They practiced using screwdrivers and screws, developing hand control, focus, and confidence through guided, hands on experience.

They also explored different types of light bulbs and learned how to safely change a lamp bulb, understanding the importance of switching off, checking, and asking for adult support when needed.

Fix It Day helps children see that mistakes are part of learning and that trying again is always encouraged.

✨ Home Heroes – Festive Edition | Life Skills in Action ✨

As part of our Home Heroes journey this week, children took part in a laundry and ironing session, learning how to care for their clothes and understand everyday routines that support independence and responsibility.

During this session, children explored clothing care labels, learned what the symbols mean in simple, child friendly ways, and practiced folding clothes step by step. With close supervision, they were also introduced to ironing as a safety focused task, helping them understand why care and adult support are important.

Children also brought clothes from home, giving them the opportunity to showcase what they learned and take pride in caring for their own belongings.

✨What we’re exploring next✨
Today, we are introducing children to the theme of shared spaces, preparing them for activities that focus on teamwork, fairness, and caring for common areas together.

Today at camp, our Home Heroes focused on owning the table- learning how to prepare, use, and care for shared eating spaces in a respectful and responsible way.

Children practiced setting the table, organising materials, and understanding how shared spaces belong to everyone. Through hands on tasks, discussion, and role-play, they explored how taking care of the table helps meals feel calmer, safer, and more enjoyable for all.

These everyday skills support children’s confidence, self awareness, and sense of belonging, helping them feel capable and involved in their daily routines both at camp and at home.

✨Day 3 at Home Heroes- Festive Edition ✨

Today, our Home Heroes slowed things down and focused on growth, care, and patience.

Children took part in hands-on activities where they planted seeds, explored what living things need to grow, and learned how small, consistent actions like watering and gentle handling help life flourish. Through planting, observing, and caring together, children discovered that looking after plants is also about responsibility, kindness, and respect for the world around us.

We closed the day with reflection and gratitude, helping children notice the small moments that made today feel calm, meaningful, and connected.

Today, our Home Heroes enjoyed a festive day filled with learning, teamwork, and excitement as they took part in The Lunch Lab.

Children worked together to prepare festive treats, including coconut balls, while practising important life skills such as hand hygiene, safe food handling, turn-taking, and cooperation. Through mixing, shaping, packaging, and cleaning up together, they explored how preparing food for others is an act of kindness and care.

There was lots of joy and anticipation in the air as many of the children excitedly shared that they would be leaving some coconut balls out for Santa tonight 🎅🏼✨

Merry Christmas to all our families and followers 🎄

24/12/2025

The holidays can come with high expectations – but perfection isn’t what children need.

What they’ll remember is the joy of being together, the small moments of connection, and the feeling of being truly seen.
This Christmas, try slowing down, saying no when you need to, and embracing the beauty of "good enough."
It’s not about doing more – it’s about being present.

When we become upset about something, we need time to process the emotions we experience. One of our emotions could be anger, a natural part of life for everyone, including children.

Big feelings can feel overwhelming - even for a calm little sloth like Sig.

In the book Sig is Angry by our own Matthew Bartolo, we follow Sig as he learns simple ways to manage anger. These are three calming steps from the story:

1 - Notice the feeling
2 - Take deep breaths
3 - Find a quiet place

There are even more helpful strategies inside the book to support children in navigating their emotions.
