To our Koala Families

What a great year we have had in the Koala room! We have enjoyed being a part of all the children’s learning and development and all that they have achieved this year.  Looking back on photos from the start of the year, we are reminded of just how little they were! All the educators feel very privileged to be involved in these first early years of life and to witness all the exciting milestones and development. As educators, we feel that each child has built strong, supportive and secure relationships with us, enabling them to experience a sense of belonging to the Koala room environment. We are so proud of the connections they have made with ourselves and each other this year; and how much the children have grown and learnt along the way.

Term four has been exciting and action-packed! We have continued our focus on foundational self-help skills to increase independence, sense of agency and confidence. We are also noticing that there is an increase in social interactions and use of language in term four. This is resulting in children playing alongside each other; sharing lots of giggles, cuddles and joyful interactions. The Koala children share a love of music, dancing and playing instruments. Firm favourite songs include “Sleeping bunnies,” “Rockabye your bear” and “The wheels on the bus”.

We would like to thank our wonderful families for placing your trust in the Koala room team and for all your support throughout the year. We wish you all a safe and happy holiday season, and a fantastic new year!
