Growing food at school

To encourage the novice gardener, or excite the most passionate young horticulturalist this party will cover all aspects of successful gardening. We learn about worms, composting, how seeds grow and disperse, why leaves are different shapes and sizes and proper watering and planting techniques. After lots of games and practical activities, little gardeners will take home:

• A jiffy pot seedling planter
• Leaf rubbing drawings and leaf ID kit
• Hand decorated assorted flower/vegie seed pack

Bushcraft birthday

Embrace our special Australian landscape with an indigenous theme. We will dance to Aboriginal music and clapping sticks, make clay presses (animal ‘tracks’, plant ‘fossils’) and weavings with natural materials and listen to traditional Victorian Aboriginal creation stories to connect to the land we live on. Children will take home:

• Hand-decorated bushwalking stick
• Handmade grass weaving
• Pressed clay ‘fossils’/’tracks’
• Hand decorated indigenous wildflower seed pack
