Join us this month at the Wildflower Garden as we explore animal migration patterns in connection with the current season, including an animal encounter!Through a beautiful blend of science, Indigenous culture, and sensory exploration, students will look beyond the surface of nature to understand the interconnectedness of plants, animals, and the earth.
Students will enjoy a guided bushwalk to discover what is currently in bloom, touching on flower anatomy. Teachings will be expressed from the D’harawal seasons book along with the opportunity to slow down and develop listening to country with our sound mapping activity.
