Kinder happenings...

Three year-olds

Australia:
The children have learnt to name different Australian animals. We focused on the book, 'What made Tiddalik laugh,' and the musical story.

We have also learnt songs such as 'Home among the Gumtrees' and 'Koori Dreamtime' with rhythm sticks.

Colours:
The children have been encouraged to learn colour matching and sorting skills through various games.

Father's Day:
We read books about fathers, and the children made cards for their dads.

Four year-olds

The children were interested in snakes and other creep-crawlies after our recent incursion. Recent interest in worms was initiated by our gardening and children discovering how many worms were in the soil. We have brought some inside as part of a discovery table for children to learn about and observe further.

Woodwork has been introduced to the group as an outdoor experience.
