Children aged 6 to 12 learn from nature, explore permaculture, ecoarts, and bushcraft, and develop social and emotional skills at our 6-session Earth Kids homeschool program, running on Wednesday mornings during the QLD school term from the 16th of October until the 20th of November, 9:30am-12:30pm.
Earth Kids is all about supporting children to learn from and with the natural world in a fun, interactive, and inclusive environment. Parents can choose to drop off their children or stay with the group.
The activities differ according to the season and may include:
• Gardening – planting, harvesting, composting, learning about bush tucker and seasonal changes; exploring what's flowering or fruiting at the farm (and tasting what is fruiting!)
• Earth connection – expanding the senses, wandering, nature journaling and doing other activities to support understanding of the web of life and the elements that all life is made of.
• Indigenous understanding – storytelling, and cultural sharing.
• Bushcraft - building shelters, making string, making campfires.
• Ecoarts – creativity using natural materials.
• And more - including cooking from food that has been harvested from the farm, games, and unstructured play.
More information about the program, including our cancellation and no-show policy, is available in the Parents and Guardians Handbook: 2024-April_NSCF-Earth-Kids-Parents-Guardians-Handbook-1.pdf
