🍂🌿 Exploring Boodja and Djeran 🌿🍂

Our Bindi Kindi children over the last few weeks have been delving deeper into our Acknowledgement of Country, exploring the words "Here is the Boodja (Land)" while learning about the seasonal changes that come with the season Djeran and now moving into Makuru 🧡💛

As part of their learning, the children ventured around Meerilinga to collect and investigate natural items found in our environment. 🌱🍃 They observed the changing colours around them, explored images of different landscapes and shared their ideas about what makes our Boodja special.

Using their discoveries and observations, the children worked together to create a beautiful collaborative artwork, which is now proudly displayed in our learning space. 🎨🤝

⚽📚 Throwback to last Wednesday's Simultaneous Storytime! 📚⚽

Our children had a wonderful time taking part in this year's Simultaneous Storytime, reading Luna Roo written Adam Jackson and Adrian Lloyd, illustrated by Jake Minton 🌙🦘

The story was such a hit that the children asked to read it more than once! 📖💚 They extended their learning through a range of fun, hands-on experiences, including a game of soccer outside ⚽, using the story's characters to create their own soccer matches and joining in with some energetic Luna Roo exercises 🤸‍♀️✨.

It was fantastic to see the children engaging with the story, using their imagination and sharing the joy of reading together. 🥰📚

🏡💚 We were proud to celebrate Neighbourhood Centre Week on Friday 15th May at Meerilinga Woodvale, thanks to Linkwest. Meerilinga Woodvale was one of 38 neighbourhood centres to receive a grant to celebrate 🎉✨

Our community came together to enjoy a delicious lunch 🍽️, connect with one another 🤝, and celebrate the important role neighbourhood centres play in creating welcoming spaces for everyone 🏘️💛

We were so pleased to have 45 people attend and share in the celebrations 🎊😊

This year’s theme, “Your Place to Connect,” highlights how Neighbourhood Houses across Australia provide opportunities for support, friendship, learning, volunteering, and community connection every day 💚🌟

We know all about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. We're not just talking about the theory. The rights of children are at the forefront of our work in the community and in our Early Learning Programs.

The women in our lives are amazing! Whether you are a guardian, a mum, an aunty or a grandmother, we hope that you have had the opportunity to enjoy this Mother’s Day. Thank you for the love and care that you provide the children in our community.⁠
⁠
We also acknowledge that this day can be difficult for many: those grieving the loss of a mother, those longing to become mothers or who have lost children, those who have complex relationships with their mothers. Whether today brings joy, sadness, or a mix of both, you are not alone.

If you are a mother or someone in need of support and community, Meerilinga may be able to help. Contact us to discover a range of parenting programs, community services, playgroups and Early Learning locations.⁠
