The Butterfly children at Waratah 1 have developed a wonderful interest in the birds that visit our outdoor environment.

Thanks to a lovely donation from our friends at the Multicultural Centre, the children have been given the opportunity to explore a collection of feathers. They have been using their senses to investigate the different textures, colours and patterns creating with the feathers and developing their curiosity as they try to identify which birds they may belong to.

It has been wonderful to see the children’s natural curiosity lead their learning as they observe, question, investigate and share their ideas about the birds that visit our outdoor environment.

Through this experience, the children are developing a deeper appreciation for the natural world and the living creatures that share our environment.
