We welcomed new friends to our #forestschool program this week. Amongst many learnings we enjoyed hammock play, terracotta clay, doing the 'rainbow limbo', exploring the new native bee hives and sharing our collective knowledge.

The great debate! As teachers/educators, do we join in children's play or stand back? When is the line drawn between connecting with a child and interrupting their play? At what point do we communicate with children intentionally? I have my views 👇but keen to hear yours

Starting this week with stories from our Bush Kindy journey through 2024 - from rain-soaked mornings to songs and music in the bush, every moment has brought our community closer.🌿#BushKindy #NaturePlay #OutdoorLearning #Logan #Play
