EARLY BIRD PRICES CLOSE ON JANUARY 22ND

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 during the QLD school term.

Earth Kids is about supporting children in learning 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 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
