'So I'm hoping over time we'll get a calendar with the birds we normally see at different times. 'We've started to document what birds we see at each time of the year,' Shelli says. 'The conversations with the children were amazing, about the birds, clouds and rainbows that you can now see in the murals.'ĭelta Road Preschool's bird learning will still continue. 'The council and the artist came and had meetings with the children about what to paint on the murals,' Shelli says. The murals, funded by a community grant and painted by a local artist, feature many of the bird species the children have seen. The birds inspired a series of bird murals outside the preschool. 'The children were really sad by the tree being cut down, and … they were expressing their thoughts through their artwork,' she says. 'This was highlighted when one of the trees the birds used to perch on near the kindergarten got cut down.' Shelli said the bird project has also been a fantastic way to promote children's creativity. These discussions have also led to learning about other topics including dog names and breeds, the weather, trees and how human children leave home when they grow up - just like magpies' offspring. Through group discussions, speaking with community members, online research and reading bird books and guides, children are learning about different bird species, when they visit and how they nest. It's about seeing something in its real natural space, Shelli says. 'This whole bird project has fostered a journey of investigation and intense inquiry. These crucial learning outcomes are reflected in the Early Years Learning Framework (pdf - 1.14mb) (EYLF) that guides early childhood educators in their work. Since then, educators have used children's curiosity to extend their research, exploration and problem-solving skills. ![]() 'The excitement exploded into this amazing world of birds that we are now immersed in at Delta Road,' Shelli says. The journey started when a colleague told her about eastern rosellas she'd seen nesting in the kindergarten building. This group has only recently discovered the wonder of birds, but Shelli said birds have been a big part of the Delta Road curriculum for almost four years. They chart their successes by placing stickers on a specially made bird-watching board in the kinder room. This year they've spotted a few eastern rosellas, plenty of magpies, galahs, rainbow lorikeets and a blue-faced honeyeater. With binoculars in hand, the entire four-year-old group and teacher Shelli run into the playground, eager to catch a glimpse of these beautiful rainbow-coloured animals.īird watching is one of the children's favourite things to do at kindergarten.
