This week the Bardon Kindy children had an exciting adventure into the community when they walked with teachers and parents to visit Bardon State School. Through play and nurturing connections in a classroom environment, we’re proud to help children grow in confidence and independence as they prepare for their next big step — starting school. Thank you to the amazing teachers and students at Bardon State School for your warm welcome and ongoing partnership. #bardonkindy #communitykindy #startingschool #learnthroughplay #brisbanekindy #ladygowrieqld #earlychildhoodeducation #brisbane #paddington #bardon #kindergarten
What a wonderful way to kick off our final term of kindy! This week we had an up‑close, hands‑on wildlife experience thanks to Gecko's Wildlife. 🐊🐸🐍 During the session, the children met: a long‑neck turtle a green tree frog an albino python a sugar glider a saltwater crocodile …and many more of our native creatures It wasn’t just fun, it was a meaningful experience to spark curiosity about the natural world, build empathy and respect for all living beings and inspire lifelong habits that support environmental care. #wildlife #earlychildhoodeducation #bardonkindy #communitykindy #kindergarten #brisbanekindy #environmentaleducation #ladygowrieqld #handsonlearning
Collaborative learning at Bardon Kindy. Our 'green team' have celebrated the end of term 3 by creating a group representation about adventures to Ithaca Creek. It includes the children's ideas about the rocks, trees, water and wildlife. This beautiful project is more than just recalling and representing what the children see, but an important way to work together, listen to each other, make decisions, manipulate pens and scissors and be creative!🍃 #natureplay #bardonkindy #communitykindy #earlychildhoodeducation #bardon #brisbanekindy #ladygowrieqld
We are incredibly grateful for opportunities to meet with specialists who enrich our curriculum and support us to engage in real-world, meaningful learning. Thankyou to Dr Toby from Bee Aware Kids for visiting us this week to support us to learn about Australian native stingless bees. 🍯 Experiences like these highlight the interconnectedness between people, living things and the environment, nurturing both knowledge and respect for our natural world. If you would like to continue exploring native bees at home, we recommend the following podcasts.

Taking time to connect with the natural world at Bardon Kindy includes many elements—including exploring an interest in lighting a small fire. Last week, our Blue Group collected sticks and twigs around the yard before gathering with teachers to engage in lots of scientific inquiry, conversations, problem-solving, resilience, patience, safety and environmental stewardship. #natureeducation #sustainability #bardonkindy #natureKindy #EarlyYearsLearning #communitykindergarten #ladygowrieqld

We are so very fortunate to have access to Bowman Park oval where we recently held our annual sports mornings. These were joyful events with each group connecting and being active in the warm sunshine. Events such as running, balancing, hurdling and throwing were combined with laughing, persistence and cheering each other on 🏃♀️✨ The sidelines were full of family support, and the oval was filled with friendship, teamwork and plenty of smiles. 🌳💛💚 ❤️💙 Thankyou to everyone who came along to join in the fun!

At Bardon Kindy we learn about the rich culture of Australia’s First Nations peoples in many ways including expressing ideas through art. Connecting with traditional Aboriginal symbols, children have created paintings inspired by stories of connection, land, and community. National Reconciliation Week is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories and cultures—and to work together towards a more unified future. Let’s keep listening, learning, and creating together 🖤💛❤️ #earlychildhoodeducation #playbasededucation #BardonKindy #creativekids #earlylearning #brisbanekindy #kindergarten #communitykindy #gowrieqld #ladygowrieqld #brisbanekindergartens #bardoncommunitykindy #NRW2025

Today our kindy community came together to march to the 2025 ANZAC day ceremony held at Bardon Bowls Club. We pay our respects and gratitude to those who served and continue to serve our nation. And we thank the Brisbane Thistle Bagpipe Band (which includes one our kindy teachers Matt) for leading us in this important annual tradition. #AnzacDay2025 #LestWeForget #Bardonkindy #ladygowrieqld #communitykindergarten #bardon
