FARM KIDS | MINI FARMERS TERM 4
Join us on an exciting journey through the wonders of nature at our farm program for children! Over the course of this term, we’ll explore eight fascinating topics that are essential for understanding and fostering sustainability in agriculture.
DETAILS | PROGRAM
This term brings a hands-on and fun learning experience, where children aged 5–12 will explore the natural cycles and systems that keep our farm thriving. Blending science, art, gardening and nature play, each week invites young learners to celebrate the seasons, discover the science of the natural world, and deepen their connection to the land.
From crafting kites and weaving with natural fibres to observing insects, setting up worm farms and exploring moon cycles, children will engage their senses while building curiosity, environmental awareness and resilience.
Through playful exploration, storytelling and creative projects, these workshops foster teamwork, imagination and a lifelong appreciation for sustainable practices.
