11.01.2022 So far this term children are building a sense of belonging to our kindy family. Together, we are embracing our differences and similarities as we play and learn. We have taken an interest in rainbows; finding many ways to paint and draw with a mix of colours and even made a rainbow fruit salad. Children have also been curious about reptiles, insects, spiders and a cocoon that we found at kindy!

Our inquiry into 'Things in our Garden' can be explored from our kindy garden or from home!
