Autumn splendour at Cruden Farm

Locate and name the colours of Autumn. Consider why some trees loose their leaves. Make an autumn-leaf crown. Toss leaves into the air to be caught by the wind and carried away. Breathe fresh air and enjoy relaxing story time under an old majestic Autumn tree.

WEEK THREE

Learn about the lifecycle of ‘fantastic frogs’

What is a healthy environment for frogs? Examine tadpoles at Cruden farm. Make your favourite green and spotty frog with googly eyes made from natural seed pods found on a treasure hunt in nature.

WEEK FOUR

Tuesday 23rd May

Wacky water play

Share floating and sinking games. Create a boat that will float on water using items found on a wander in nature. Why is water important? Where does it come from?

WEEK FIVE

Tuesday 30th May

Navigating natural shelters.

Make a cubby in the gardens using straw, sticks and rocks, just like in the fairytale, ‘The 3 little pigs’. Construct your own ‘banksia pig’ using items found in nature to re-tell this classic fable.

WEEK SIX

Visit Cruden Farm to make and fly your very own kite. Imagine what it would be like to fly up in the sky with the birds. Observe the different birds on the lake and in the gardens that call this magnificent property their home.
