PreK - Play-based learning (EYLF)

Mulga was extremely excited today when the mailman delivered his Christmas present - a trumpet. He could not bear the thought of waiting until Christmas, and spent the whole day playing his new instrument, even wearing the (oversize for him) white gloves that came with it, so that he would not get it dirty. At first he had difficulty making any sound, but he quickly developed the knack for it.
 

 


 
  
Mulga was also keen to try the Indian beading, and with help, was able to follow the pattern and create a beaded fish.
 
 


Infant - Learning stories


Unlike her brothers, who generally were much more demanding of instant attention, Boronia is showing herself to be a happy, calm, self-soothing thumb-sucker (try saying that three times quickly!)
