Our First Excursion

Our First Excursion

On the 12th of May our class went on an excursion to Swan’s Vet Clinic in Esperance. We listened to Mrs Swan tell us about the various rooms and what happens in each of them. We looked at a lot of different equipment that is used to help and care for animals that come into the clinic.

It was a great opportunity to learn about what is in our community and what jobs people do. Thank you to Mrs Swan for sharing her knowledge with us and to everyone at the vet clinic who made us feel welcome.

Science in Kindy – Water and Rain

Drippy the Raincloud

In Kindergarten we tried to show how clouds rain, by doing an experiment.

We used a medicine dropper (syringe), a clear cup, shaving cream and blue dye.

We put water in the cup first and then we put shaving cream on the top of the cup. (The shaving cream was the cloud because we can’t bring a cloud inside).

Then we put the blue dyed water in the cloud using the syringe. The cloud dropped the blue water because it was full.

That’s what happens when it rains.

All About Me

Developing a Sense of Self

The Kindergarten children have been involved in our Religious Education theme ‘I Am Me’, during the early part of this term. The Early Years Learning Framework fosters the belief that children need to develop knowledgeable and confident self identities. Part of this building of knowledge about self, involves identifying and acknowledging who they are, their personal abilities and what is special about them. They sense and respond to a feeling of belonging. An understanding of self is relevant to their learning to interact in relation to others with care, empathy and respect.

Following the reading of the book ‘Whoever You Are’ written by Mem Fox and illustrated by Leslie Staub, the children created themselves using easily attained materials. They assessed who they are, what is remarkable about their physical appearance, what they can do and why they are special. We then displayed their special ‘self’ on our class tree. They all look SUPER SPECIAL!!
