20.01.2022 Today we looked at our worm farm. We got dressed, developed our plan, and dove right in! Feeding our worms Providing shredded paper for warmth Giving the soil a pH check... These practical activities help us understand the process of 'vermicomposting'. That is, when worms convert organic materials (usually wastes) in order to increase plant growth and health. Unfortunately some worms were accidentally cut in half when we used shovels... so we fed them to the chickens!

19.01.2022 Today was a day to say THANK YOU to all our educators! Please join us in recognising and celebrating the wonderful contributions they make! We hope they enjoy their little thank you present

17.01.2022 While exploring the orchard, we found a tree with a strange fruit on it. We had a think about what sort of fruit it was. Was it an apple? a peach? a red cucumber? an onion? a plum? We used a stick to cut open the fruit and discovered lots of pink seeds. It was juicy and tasted delicious... The answer: it was a pomegranate! We planted a lot of these seeds in a pot to see if they will grow back at the Centre.

16.01.2022 Just your typical day at Next Steps: Striking magenta jumpsuits The perfect action shot Finding the best sticks Conversations with chickens

14.01.2022 Happy Father's Day The children enjoyed making gifts last week in the lead up. It was an opportunity to develop a sense of service and generosity (and hopefully spoil a father or two as well!). Enjoy your day, Dads

10.01.2022 Check out this Eucalyptus bud opening up... No wonder we named a classroom after this beautiful Australian native.

07.01.2022 As the cold wet weather approaches it doesn’t stop the children from learning. They just rug up and explore the elements looking for what to learn next

05.01.2022 'We're going on a bear hunt...' Over the past few weeks the children have been looking for bears on the property. They haven't been able to find one yet, but they may have found a cave where a bear lives!

02.01.2022 Measuring a door for a new safety strip in Wattle - definitely a seven person job!
