Newport Lakes Bush Playgroup – Casual

  •  06/04/2018
     10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Come and join us for a fun morning of nature connection, exploration, learning, nature craft, stories, song and bushwalking at the stunning Newport Lakes Reserve.

We offer a gentle, yet inviting rhythm to our programs which starts with a gathering and acknowledgement of traditional landowners, some free exploration and mud kitchen play, a nature craft activity and Australian story, followed by a bush walk learning about the plants and wildlife on the way. Each session has a different theme and activity so you can come for all three!

Our program has been developed to give your child optimum opportunity to build their gross motor and physical skills through climbing, balancing, walking and fine motor skills during our craft activities. Research clearly shows that the more time your child spends in nature, the better they are prepared for school, both physically and emotionally.

Our workshop facilitator, Katie is a passionate environmental educator and scientist who has over 20 years experience running environmental education programs and more recently, working with children as a fully accredited AustSwim Teacher. She is currently completing her studies in Early Childhood Education.

Ages: 1 – 6 years (siblings under 12 months are welcome to attend for free).

*Parents are responsible for their children at all times.
