25.01.2022 Just in - Sparkling STEM Cards STEM is everywhere! Sometimes we need little experience prompts to help us plan for how to engage STEM enquiry-based learning in our everyday curriculum. Our Sparkling STEM cards have been developed for educators who need a little background guidance in providing thought provoking experiences that lead children to engage in a variety of aspects of STEM. Sparkling STEM cards are inclusive of how to engage anti-bias approaches and Indigenous perspectives. Our Sparkling STEM cards also come with a special surprise! Turn them over and they become a map of Australia puzzle!

16.01.2022 Went and visited our dear friend Hun today in Siem Reap, Cambodia! The children loved the clothes and the books. A big thank you to those who donated. Hun has 250 local children attend his school, they do it in shifts. They all know him, I know because we got lost several times. He gives free board and schooling to needy children, so that can be eventually self sufficient. Love that he has started scholarships for girls! Unheard of in Cambodia! The little one in the first pic is such a personality. His parents have both passed away and he has been with Hun since he was 3. He loved my husband Ken. Our driver sat in when I was reading flip books, which even the 17 year olds hadnt seen. He didnt even charge for the day. But we still paid him! Hit the Siem Reap peak hour in the way home!
