In term 1 educators overheard a child’s comment that gave us pause for thought. This comment offered the team a provocation and an opportunity. Throughout the year we questioned our shared values and how we enact them, our own personal beliefs and biases and how we are responding to our evolving community.

One of the ways we responded was through our food garden. Together with our family and local community we moved the food garden to ensure it was accessible to all children at all times. We recognised food, and growing foods, as a shared language and traditional community builder across the world and this term we invited a local artist to bring the children’s signage vision to life. Families and educators joined us in planting and celebrating culture and diversity in the kindergarten kitchen.

We look forward to exploring the many avenues that this observation provided us with and the choices we make everyday 🥬🥦🥑. ... See MoreSee Less

Children have been celebrating creativity this term. They’ve had opportunity for active exploration of multiple tools –paintbrushes of different sizes, pencils, pens and oil pastels – each with its own "marker identity". 🎨

Shane Cook an aboriginal artist has been working in collaboration with children, families and educators to create a new mural at the Kindy. 🤎

Shane encouraged children to use colour, pattern and themes to reflect the natural beauty of Country. To tell their story, in their own creative way, celebrating the diversity amongst our community of artists. 👩‍🎨 We can’t wait to share the finished piece, telling our story, inspired by our beautiful Kaurna country.

Children were later privileged to gather as a learning community on Kaurna Land at Adelaide Botanic Garden walking the Aboriginal plant trail with Trent, connecting to Country that inspired their artwork. ... See MoreSee Less
