School holiday fun with G.E Learner

G.E Learner has been traveling with the children throughout the holidays. 

G.E Learner went to the Big Strawberry in northern Victoria yesterday with Laila.

Charli enjoyed taking G.E Learner through the tunnel. Thank you to Allison from Circular head Aboriginal Corporation.

Exhibition up and running

Head into 'Time Out on Emmett' to see the many exciting adventures that our G.E Learner has been on. It's great to see so many families take part in the Adventures of G.E Learner, we have had many positive comments from members of the community about the exhibition.

Please continue to take your G.E Learner on adventures and bring in your photos to display at the service.

Its Almost exhibition time!

Linda and Dianne have been working hard over the last few days to prepare for our G.E Learner exhibition at Time Out On Emmet at the end of this month. 

G.E Learner has been on some great adventures and is keen to share them all with you at the exhibition.

G.E Learners Adventures

G.E Learner has been on many great adventures with the children and educators. We hope to see him go on many more adventures over the coming weeks.

Dakota A took her G.E Learner to the beach where he went rock climbing.

Gracie H took him to the playground.

 

G.E Learner went for a ride in the car with Austin P.

G.E Learner traveled to Penguin with Candace, Janey-lee and Hatti.

Once upon a time in a very busy city, on a very busy street, on top of a very tall building, Rosie found Herman. And Herman found Rosie. They liked to play Jazz in the local club with G. E. Learner, their new found friend. The city was never quite the same!

It's time for an adventure!

The children have started to complete their colouring in of G.E Learner and it is now time for him to start traveling home with the children and going on an adventure with your family. 

 Over the coming week we aim to be completing more of our G.E Learners so he can travel home with your children.

Colouring in our own G.E Learners

This week has been filled with excitement as the children are all meeting G.E Learner, before meeting him the children discuss with  the educators what he will look like.

They are all working hard on colouring in their G.E Learner using the special new textas and the children are trying really hard to focus on colouring in side the lines of their pictures.

G.E Learner's journey at giggles

The children are all enjoying having G.E at Giggles and are working with the educators to colour in their own copies of G.E Learner. 

Here is just a few of the many great creations from the children.

G.E Learner arrives at Giggles!

This week the children at Giggles were finally able to meet G.E Learner.

There was lots of excitement among the children as he was revealed for all of them to see .

The children all got a copy of G.E Learner to decorate themselves and take home on an adventure! 

 

The children worked hard on decorating their own G.E Learner.

What does G.E Learner look like?

The children all have lots of ideas about what G.E Learner may look like and are keen for their arrival at Giggles.

Here are some of today's drawings of what the children think G.E Learner might look like. 

 Ethan P said that G.E Learner will be a boy with no hands but he will have arms, legs and feet.

 Olivia said they will be a girl with long hair and a pink dress.

Wait for more

This is a working blog that will be updated every few days so keep your eye out for more to come.

Creating the concept of G.E Learner

Children were encouraged to brain storm their ideas of a character that would become the service's identity. G.E Learner will arrive at Giggles over the next couple of weeks.

The children discussed whether G.E Learner will be a boy or a girl, will they be short or tall.

Zarlia discussed that she thought they may eat ice cream, whilst Gracie thought they may have fingers.

The children moved to the table and eagerly started to sketch their pictures of G.E Learner. Here is one of their drawings.

All in a name.

What's your name?

 

At Giggles this is the question we have been asking the children.

A name makes you who you are and no one can take it away from you, allowing children to feel recognised and respected for who they are (EYLF Outcome 1: Children have a strong sense of identity)

Most of the children recognise their name as their first name, some included their surname, but what's a middle name?  

 

This prompted a discussion. Gracie's dad calls Aiden "Brownie" Logan is Logan Tyson Moles and Danae is just Danae "because she is little".

We demonstrated the different ways that we can write our name.

 

 

The children excitedly explored the new letters appearing in their name on the paper.

 

So why generate interest in the children's initials?

 

We are about to embark on a learning journey to build partnerships with our families and the wider community. Watch our Blog!
