Cool Frogs ECE Wodonga

We have been so lucky this term to welcome Tracey from BaleGrow to Cool Frogs ECE Wodonga to talk to the older children about gardening and sustainability.
Tracey discussed with the children about how we can make pots for our plants using things that we might already have around the house (old soda and milk bottles). The kinder children also got to plant our own seedlings in our new Straw Bale Gardens! We look forward to hopefully sharing some delicious herbs and vegetables with all of our families!

Kicking off World Space Week in the Kinder room with some Space Monsters! Made using paint and some straws, the children used their deep belly breaths to blow the paint over the page, added their choice of facial features and voila - Space Monsters! Accompanied by a beautiful galaxy backdrop created by our educator, Em!

💙Happy Father's Day💙

To all the amazing dads, mums who take on the role of dad, and the special men who bring love, guidance and support into our lives — today we celebrate you!

Thank you for your care, your strength, your encouragement, and all those little moments that mean so much. You make a difference every single day, and we are so grateful for everything you do.

From all of us at Cool Frogs Early Childhood Education, we wish you a very special day!

Small world play, the use of miniature toys, figurines, and props to build real or imaginary scenes. It serves as a vital pedagogical tool that lets children make sense of the world in a safe, controlled environment while simultaneously boosting cognitive, language, physical, and social-emotional development.

August has already been such a busy month for our friends at Cool Frogs ECE Wodonga!

On the 10th, we welcomed Reptile Encounters who came to show the children some very special friends and shared lots of information about the animals that came along!

The children really enjoyed learning where the animals live, what they eat and how they protect themselves from other animals!

We met Cheryl the Leaf/Stick Insect, Shrek the Green Tree Frog, Popcorn the Shingleback Lizard, Mr Hardhead the Turtle, Bluey the Blue-Tongue Lizard, A Children’s Python, Tiny the 3metre Olive Python and even a baby crocodile!

🐢Did you know that to stay underwater for long periods of time, turtles actually breathe through their bottom?
🐍The Dreamtime Story of The Rainbow Serpent is based off the rainbow shimmer colours of the Olive Python
🐊Crocodiles don’t have tongues!
