Creating a Worm Farm
The students at Abermain OOSH collaborated on constructing a worm farm and vegetable garden. With added assistance, they constructed garden beds, enriched them with nutrient-rich soil, and created an ideal environment for both worms and seeds to flourish.
Beginning with snow peas, silver beet, carrots, and rocket seeds, their aim is to utilize the harvest in their meals, fostering a circular sustainable economy where food scraps nourish the worms.
From this, our learners are gaining hands-on experience with gardening and sustainability and fostering a deeper understanding of where our food comes from and the importance of reducing waste.
Gymnastics and ‘Paint & Sip’
Charlestown OOSH flipped, skipped and rolled their way into Vacation Care with a Gymnastics Incursion. They were guided through a series of exercises and learnt about the importance of their physical well-being.
They returned for a day of ‘Paint & Sip’, sipping on refreshing fruity beverages, they immersed themselves in a sunset painting class, discovering the nuances of dark and light colors, as well as foreground and background elements.
Our learners, have been able to experience a wholistic two days of learning and development in a fun way that allows them to test their skills and broaden their knowledge
