“Nature Buzz” School Holiday Program for 7 – 12 year olds Woohoo! It’s the holidays, time to get outside and enjoy some nature-based activities in our beautiful garden by the Waterfall Gully creek. “Natural play strengthens children’s self-confidence and arouses their senses-their awareness of the world and all that moves in it, seen and unseen”, Richard Louv. GOOD NATURED CONNECTIONS At Good Natured Connections we are passionate about providing inclusive nature play experiences for children. In this session we will offer nature craft and construction activities on the shady lawn, such as making a simple bee hotel, clay critters or Christmas decorations using natural materials. Your child will have the opportunity to have some fun and make some new friends in the outdoors – we will go ahead whatever the weather, so we suggest they wear something that can get wet and/or dirty. We will provide a Child Safe Environment, but indemnity paperwork will need to be signed on the day. If required, parents (max. 1 per family) may choose to stay and relax on site, or otherwise enjoy some time out for themselves, leaving the children in the safe hands of our accredited staff. Please talk to us if you child has additional needs so we can have appropriate support available. Good Natured Connections are committed to ensuring the health and wellbeing of our families, staff and community. We are following government health advice and have a COVID-19 safety plan in place for all our programs. If your child is unwell or has been in contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 please stay home.
