Last week, children from Deborah Little, May Murray and Yirran Gumal Early Learning Centres went on an excursion to Barnardos Australia's National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children's Day celebration.

Joining local families and children from other early learning services, they enjoyed a morning of arts and crafts, reading sessions, face painting and community connection.

The event was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the importance of family, culture and community in children's lives and wellbeing.

At May Murray, children have been engaged in careful observation of feathers as part of their exploration of the natural world.

They were invited to share their ideas visually, with many choosing to focus on the stunning peacock feathers. Through this work, children are learning to carefully notice and represent the world around them.
