This workshop will give children the opportunity to explore a variety of topics including basic needs, natural and man-made habitats, basic food chains, responsible pet ownership, snake awareness and more. Each child will plant a seed for a ‘bee-eautiful’ bee and watch it grow over the next few weeks! It’s each child’s responsibility to ensure it grows.
Children will dig deep down into Mini Beasts and Life in the Undergrowth. Give children the ‘hands-on’ opportunity to explore a variety of topics including features, life cycles, basic food chains, safe mini beasts and more.

Dive into the wonderful world of water bugs! This workshop will give children the ‘hands-on’ opportunity to explore a variety of topics including features, basic needs, basic food chains, very simple field ecology survey techniques and more.

We can bring the water bugs to you or meet you at your local water way (with additional supervision assistance from your parent helpers).
Set up a simple recycling system and a worm farm for your centre’s waste.

Children will also observe some compost critters and understand the important role that they play in composting our organic waste and soil health. Empower your children to manage their waste.
Feel the energy! Through dance and movement and ‘hands-on’ experiments, children will make different types of energy and learn where it comes from. Children will learn why we need to conserve energy and preserve our resources so we have enough for all, forever. Each group will conduct an ‘excellent energy experiment’ to keep and enjoy.
Set up a worm farm for organic waste! Give children the opportunity to ‘get their hands dirty’ while exploring the simple science and fun of composting.
