25.01.2022 Today our Dalby children were curious about what the bushes were outside our hall, once we told them it was rosemary and was edible they decided to try some. It sparked a conversation about different herbs and how they are used in the kitchen. Later they ventured out to the Dalby beach to swim in the lagoon and splash around under the waterfall.

They also spent time outdoors dancing and catching bubbles.

We made Japanese paper fans, we did Aboriginal dot painting, baked Mexican nachos, coloured in pictures that represented Paris and made our own Earth with paper plates. The children got a lovely visit from Loui, Miss Tamika’s puppy. He even joined us for our afternoon play outside! The weather was so great this week that most afternoons were spent all outside! The children have also given me some great ideas for our next weeks theme.
