Week 8's Focus: Sustainability

 

September has kicked off! The Educators are trialling a weekly focus for the educational program. Last week the children were immersed in sustainability-based activities. This included outdoor foraging, flora sculptures, and nature drawing.

​

The Educators worked with the kids to make discoveries and interact with others whilst connecting with their natural environment. Check out Educator Wendy’s comments:

‘’It was heart-warming to see the children gain more of an understanding of the world around them by observing shapes in the environment and collecting natural materials.’’

​

Educator Kate noticed:

‘’The children decorating the autumn leaves loved the patterns the leaves were making, and were excited that were creating art with resources found on their very own school playground.’’

​

We feel fortunate to be situated near such a vibrant community garden! The diverse array of plant life encourages the children to experience nature in more ways and more frequently.

​

We’d love to hear what you think about the weekly focus areas!
