Wellbeing
Thank you to all of our students and families for another wonderful term! As we head into the holidays, we hope everyone has a chance to slow down, recharge and enjoy some time together. For a little holiday fun, have a go at our A–Z Holiday Challenge — a collection of simple ideas to help you play, explore, create, connect and enjoy the little moments. See how many letters you can collect, or come up with your own ideas along the way.
Wishing everyone a safe, happy and restful break!
🐛 Silkworm Eggs – Free to a Good Home!
We have some silkworm eggs available and would love to share them with families who are interested in raising silkworms at home!
Raising silkworms is a fantastic hands-on science activity for children. It gives them the opportunity to observe a complete life cycle up close – from tiny eggs, to growing silkworms, to cocoons and finally moths. The whole process takes approximately 6–8 weeks from hatching to becoming a moth, making it a great little project to observe over time.
🌿 IMPORTANT – Please check that you have access to a mulberry tree before requesting eggs.
Once the silkworms hatch, they need a regular supply of fresh mulberry leaves to eat – and as they grow, they eat a surprising amount! Please make sure you know where you will be able to collect mulberry leaves throughout the time you are caring for them.
Before requesting eggs, please have a quick read through the care information here:
If you’ve read the information, have access to mulberry leaves and would like some eggs, please let Ms Weston know!🐛🌿
