To our Bilby Families

As Term 2 draws to a close, we want to take a moment to reflect on the amazing journey we’ve had with your little ones over the past few months. It has been a term filled with discovery, growth, and countless joyful moments.

This term, our focus on outdoor play, community walks, and gardening has brought immense joy and valuable learning experiences to the Bilby room. The children have thrived in the fresh air, engaging in activities that promote physical development, sensory exploration, and a deep connection with nature.

Our community walks have been wonderful adventures, allowing the children to explore the world around them. We have visited local parks, observed the change in seasons, and even stopped by the local beach to see boats/ships at the port. These outings help children develop social skills, a sense of community, and an understanding of the world around them.

We explored nature in our garden, discovering flowers, bugs, and even a few friendly birds. We hope to extend our learning by planting flowers and herbs in term 3. Planting provides hands-on learning about the natural world. Children learn basic concepts of biology, such as how plants grow, the importance of sunlight and water, and the life cycle of plants. This fosters curiosity and enhances cognitive development.

For our younger children in the Bilby room, we have focused on positive interactions and building strong relationships. Over the past few months, we have created activities and experiences that support the developmental milestones of your child such as tummy time, crawling and walking games and fine motor skill activities. We hope to focus on sensory exploration throughout term 3 by introducing soft fabrics, rattles, textured balls, and safe objects of different shapes and sizes.

We look forward to continuing this journey, filled with exciting activities, learning adventures, and cherished moments!
