Play is how children learn and interact with the world around them. This is why the Happy Sprouts curriculum has been carefully curated to encourage play that motivates children to take on new experiences, including taking well considered risks. These experiences inspire each child to think creatively, use their imagination, problem-solve and experiment with emerging ideas and interests through trial and error.

Harmony Week
At Happy Sprouts Craigieburn we came together to celebrate Harmony Day. Harmony Day is a special occasion that recognises diversity and belonging. Throughout the week children and Staff arrived dressed in cultural clothing or wore orange to show their support for inclusivity and unity. As the children admired each other’s outfits, conversations sparked naturally—curious questions and proud explanations filled the air, deepening their understanding of different cultures.
These meaningful discussions strengthened our sense of connection, fostering a deeper appreciation for one another.
Harmony Day reminded us that, while we come from different backgrounds, we all belong. Through shared stories and creative expression, our kindergarten community grew even stronger today

Celebrating Holi: A Festival of Colors and Community
At Happy Sprouts we came alive with vibrant colors as we celebrated the Holi festival with our very own color festival! Each child was given their own color, which they could choose to throw into the air or use to create colorful handprints on their peers’ t-shirts. Laughter and excitement filled the space as children joyfully participated in this cultural celebration, embracing the spirit of togetherness, creativity, and fun. Through this experience, children deepened their understanding of cultural diversity, learning that celebrations like Holi bring people together in joy and unity. They actively engaged in sensory exploration as they felt the soft powders between their fingers, observed the way colors blended, and expressed themselves through movement and play. This hands-on approach brought culture to life, allowing children to connect with the traditions of Holi in a meaningful and memorable. In true Reggio Emilia spirit, this experience was child-led and hands-on, allowing children to express themselves through color, movement, and interaction with peers. The open-ended nature of the activity encouraged creativity, collaboration, and a sense of belonging within our community.

🥞Pancake Day 🥞
Today the Kinder children celebrated Pancake Day which falls on the 4th of March. It is also known as Shrove Tuesday, It’s a Christin tradition that marks the day before the start of Lent.
Before commencing the experience, the children sat on the mat. We discussed the safety hazards of using a frying pan and what ingredients we needed in order to make the pancakes!
The children were super excited and couldn’t wait to see the pancakes come to life! Each of the children had a turn at pouring the mixture and flipping the pancakes throughout the process. The children observed how gold and crisp they had become!
We had a discussion about what we could place on the top of our pancakes to add extra flavour.

Lending Library
Our 3 and 4 year old Kindergarten children Lending Library: Building Independence and a Love for Reading
Today, the children excitedly received their kindergarten lending library bags, marking the beginning of a special routine that will support their literacy development and sense of responsibility. Each child will bring their library bag on their assigned day, visit our centre’s lending library, and have the opportunity to select a book to borrow for the week. The following week, they will return their book and choose a new one, fostering a cycle of learning and exploration.
This experience encourages children to take ownership of their learning by independently selecting books that spark their curiosity and interest. It also supports essential school readiness skills, as they practice responsibility in caring for their borrowed books and remembering to return them on time.
Aligned with the Reggio Emilia approach, this initiative values children’s autonomy and nurtures their natural love for stories and knowledge. It also connects to the EYLF, particularly Outcome 5: “Children engage with a range of texts and gain meaning from these texts,” as they immerse themselves in literature both at kindergarten and at home. Additionally, Outcome 1: “Children develop their emerging autonomy, interdependence, resilience, and sense of agency” is reflected as they take on the responsibility of managing their library borrowing.
Through our lending library, the children are not only strengthening their literacy skills but also developing a sense of independence, fostering a lifelong love for reading and storytelling.
