19.01.2022 OUTDOOR CLASSROOM DAY We want to make people understand that spending time outdoors is as important for children’s development as learning to read and write. We want to show how learning outside of the classroom engages and excites children in spectacular ways even in the rain! ... Outdoor play is the key to improving children’s health, wellbeing and happiness, we are very lucky to have such a large enriching yard for our children,that helps challenge their minds and build on their skills such as risk taking, sharing and cooperation. There is no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing

Look out for our upcoming Christmas Display we are both creating!

Please help support these amazing organisations that are providing an invaluable service to our Koalas and country.
