Planting a garden

🐝 AGES 3+ ⌛ 1 HOUR 🌤 AVAILABLE ALL YEAR

We look at the power of plants and discover why they’re so important to the world.

---

INCURSION OUTLINE

• We explore all the parts of plant through taste, touch and smell.

• We help the kids understand the growth cycle of plants by inviting them to become one. First they imagine they’re seeds and then we ‘wake’ them up with a light spray of water to help them bloom into plants.

• Next, we make our own potting mix using homemade-worm-filled compost.

• From there, we find and collect some worms to join their friends in a worm farm.

•  We then plant a range of seasonal edible plants and flowers into take-home biodegradable pots so the kids can plant them at home. If you have an available garden bed, we can plant a range of beautiful plants instead of providing take-home pots.

• Lastly, we decorate some paper bags that can carry all of our goodies home.

  We supply all the materials for this incursion. For prices and availability, please send us an email.

Wonderful water

🐝 AGES 3+ ⌛ 1 HR 🌤 ALL YEAR

Where does water come from, and why is it so important for us and our gardens?

INCURSION OUTLINE

• We start by looking at where water comes from and how all living creatures use it. We also have a little fun by jumping, spinning, running and drinking water.

• Next we imagine what it would feel like to be a storm. We role-play heavy rain, light showers, swirling wind, rumbling thunder, and lightning.

• From there we head out to find a well, and work out the best way to collect and carry our water.

• Next we explore what items sink, float, absorb, dissolve, drip or pour water.

• Lastly we look at how water is polluted, then discover the best ways to clean it using sieves, tongs and spoons.
