About this event

If we are to live in greater harmony with the natural world we need to understand the patterns of the seasons and the landscape in in which we live.

June falls within the Season of Burrugin in the D’Harawal calendar. Burrugin has a focus on whales, echidnas as well as Gymea lily flowers.

This session will involve a bushwalk, art experiences with extended free play in the natural environment, as we learn more about the landscape and the messages that tell us about our weather.

Students explore scientific values and attitudes and undertake scientific skills throughout our learning programs, in particular, those relating to shaping a sustainable future and using evidence and reason to engage with our world. Cross curriculum priorities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories and culture.

Science outcomes: ST1-10ES-S, ST1-4LW-S, ST1-5LW-T
Geography outcomes: GE1-1, GE1-2, GE1-3

Nature School provides an opportunity for home school families to add nature play, outdoor skills, sustainability and environmental awareness in their learning activities.
