Yesterday, the children from Ocean Adventurers went on their first trip of the year. Before leaving, we had a group chat about staying safe and made sure everyone was accounted for in the roll call.
Holding hands with their buddies, the children followed the educators out of the gates and walked to the nearby park. Along the way, they counted the ducks they saw and discussed the litter they noticed in the community.
At the park, the children took turns playing on the swings and showed great skills in sharing. Some of them even searched for natural materials and insects in the nearby bushland.
This experience aligns with the EYLF Framework and promotes language and social skills in a formal and professional manner along with building our engagement with the community.
