🤎 Mud Play in the Early Years 🤎 🌳 At HazelGrove, our infants and toddlers are on a mud play journey to explore and discover through the natural world around them! 🧐 There is a growing body of research into why children have an inbuilt need to play in mud, all these researches pursued us as educators/teachers to reflect and implement a more holistic outdoor learning environment for young children. 🤗 We believe mud play is a great way to connect with nature while implementing our Sustainability Plan. Playing with mud is also a joyous experience and one that the majority of children cannot resist. 🪵 Despite this, the fact remains that nature play inspires learning and socialising. Outdoor exploration and immersion in nature are essential to the health and wellbeing of children, helping them to develop to their full potential in all learning areas. 📖 While HazelGrove is dedicated to nurturing and supporting children’s learning, we have a responsibility to help our community understand the benefits of our educational curriculum too. To do so, we always showcase and share research with our families for ongoing collaboration across stakeholders which we love to see here at HazelGrove! 🤎 #CAREFORKIDS

🚮 Know Your Waste 🚮 ✅ In partnership with the Hills Shire Council and Cleanaway, our children were presented with a recent workshop on ‘Know Your Waste’. ♻️The Know Your Waste Preschool Education Program is designed to improve children’s knowledge of waste and sustainability issues. 🌍 It develops a sense of environmental stewardship and fosters transferable behaviours that help make a sustainable future possible! 🪱 Our children thoroughly enjoyed this workshop and had fun getting involved with worm farming, sorting rubbish, and discussing current environmental challenges. #careforkids
