Discover what makes our native flora miraculous!
Students will discover how unique and amazing our native plants really are! From marri trees to native wisteria, each species has developed unique and special ways to live – and thrive – in our harsh and dry climate. Students will have an opportunity to get hands-on with a variety of native seeds and seed pods, identifying these plants while exploring the Children’s Forest.
In this program, your Year 2 students will:
✔ Understand that plants have a life cycle and stages.
✔ Understand that plants are living and growing.
✔ Learn that native plant life cycles have evolved to live in a harsh, dry environment.
✔ See that plants have offspring which look like the adult plant.
✔ Identify a range of native plants.
This program is delivered within our dedicated outdoor learning destination in the Children’s Forest, bushland planted by children and their families in a community ‘forest’.
