This learning experience is designed to approach the topic gently through play, storytelling, small‑world exploration, and hands‑on creativity. Rather than focusing on danger, it highlights helpers, community care, and nature’s remarkable ability to heal and regrow. The aim is to empower children with knowledge in a developmentally appropriate way, supporting emotional regulation while strengthening their connection to Country and community.
By engaging with familiar materials, calm routines, and open‑ended play, children can explore big ideas safety, responsibility, resilience, and environmental cycles in ways that feel safe, supported, and meaningful.
