Neighbourhood Explorers The teaching team at Parkdale Preschool have developed a new and exciting program for our four year old groups of 2021. Our Neighbourhood Explorers program which will incorporate one Bush Kinder session for the duration of Term 2 and one Neighbourhood Explorers session for the duration of Term 3, will be designed as a way in which to enrich the children’s learning. Through first-hand experience, children will develop an awareness of their impact on the local environment. Learning outdoors in the Bush Kinder program will allow children to expand and develop their abilities both mentally and physically as the ever-changing nature of the outdoors will promote hypothesising, imagination, interaction, problem solving and experimenting. Children will also explore new and different ways in which to share stories, use natural resources to create art and interact with each other. With our Bush Kinder outings occurring one session per week, children will be supported in building upon and exploring their identity further. Our Neighbourhood Explorers program will encourage children to broaden their understanding of the world in which they live. In visiting local beaches, parks, shops and services, children will gain an important insight into the understanding of the diversity of local culture. They will explore connections, similarities and differences between people and notice and respond to these differences in a positive and meaningful way. We hope that these programs will nurture children in connecting with nature and their local community and in turn, build the future generation of custodians of the natural and built world for the benefit of all. |
