Transform your centre’s playground into a Garden for Wildlife! Children will learn how we can provide a wildlife-friendly habitat in their playground or backyard. 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. We have a growing collection of safe Mini Beasts (insects and other invertebrates) for observing and, some, for touching, if you’re brave.
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. Like ‘real-life Scientists’, children will understand the story that water bugs tell us about waterway health and how we can improve the health of our waterways. 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 or home! Children will have the ‘hands-on’ opportunity to ‘sort the recycling from the rubbish’ while learning more about recycling and the 3Rs. 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 compost their organic waste! Each child will learn how to make a ‘cool composting experiment’ at home too!
Children will put ‘reuse’ into action by creating Bric a Brac Art to take home! Children will also have the ‘hands-on’ opportunity to ‘sort the recycling from the rubbish’ while learning more about recycling and the 3Rs. Empower your children to reuse their waste by creating Bric a Brac Art!
