25.01.2022 Our first Bush Kindy excursion was loved by both our children and our educators. We explored different natural areas, made friends with a worm and even did a spot of fishing in a very muddy puddle. How nice to be out in nature where we had the opportunity to acknowledge the Country and the traditional landowners. With Love,... The Gumnuts team.

24.01.2022 That is how we got to go on a real "BEAR HUNT". As the restriction are easing, we are very excited to restart our popular 'Bush Kindy' excursions.

23.01.2022 Loose parts play in a big way... we will be introducing more materials so children can create and build their own learning spaces. Open ended materials invoke children to experiment, engage, construct and create. Education isn't about teaching children what to think but how to be thinkers, how to create and how to invent. In any environment, both the degree of inventiveness and creativity, and the possibility of discovery, are directly proportional to the number and kind of variables in it. Simon Nicholson, Architect

19.01.2022 .Today we continue engaging with our sustainability practices by watering the plants in our center .The importance of introducing sustainability is that it involves making conscious decisions about how one action impacts the environment. Being mindful of our daily choices fosters an understanding of the greater impacts of our decisions, such as reusing resources. .Through experiences, children learn and develop relationships with the natural world around them. From a susta...inability perspective, children can make connections between experiences, concepts, processes, and engage in learning relationships with humans, other species, and non-living elements. For example, watering our plants offers opportunities to develop relationships with plants and insects. Thank you to Joey's group, for showing us your interest in nurturing and caring for your environment. Have a good day.
