Where do crocodiles live?

One of the children asked me this after I read the story “A star-faced crocodile”. A great question to spark discussion amongst children. So I set up a small world play as an invitation to find out about crocodile habitat. https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1oyJTZLvmDLVhqbl2nHh4fxr6FewarP5Khttps://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1GDfkssmYMd_9lEC28BA9OshvR7HpHPuK

Dinosaurs

Today the children had a visit from Melbourne Museums. They had the opportunity to observe , touch and feel life-sized replicas of dinosaurs. There were lots of conversations about how dinosaurs went extinct, what a paleontologist does, and the different names of dinosaurs. As an extension of this visit, my colleagues and I set up a dinosaur-themed play space for children to further expand their social construction of dinosaur-related knowledge. https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1iNqlaFtBno5kz2lgtpcW3L7u9iX1wSSrhttps://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1HFnnR_lVN1JicEYJtR8DTYTcFbxKLBsGhttps://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1k8ufJYW6GpmYU3hEwrwC3M6sPjcF16S1https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1Yandd8QfYnXuZs3dHwW9ZGdoL2jWAQJXhttps://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=12mn36XtLpwVgEMvv0mauYkK81a8Cgek8

Face painting

One of my (many) talents is face painting! Although I’m not a professional, I love to do face painting for community events. This Easter I was invited to my colleague’s Kindergarten centre to face paint the children. Here are some photos of my designs.https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1j3CnqjDILKuOMTMU6TOdSXmT6bbbRTfWhttps://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1VlQDFOFxaJF7YYAtC3sMsWvkQ1d5wfj2https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1nuoXbgd-nm_Wi3DpffNpdrNX8qfo5BVyhttps://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1yo_7ComJJsLoilBbGKUpvgbJ0lJOG59Mhttps://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1cJ8ZXneWzmT4blcJNVhnlZtnJGVfw0aX
