Teddies picnicking
06/11/09 09:26
While our visiting Kinder children have been out
exploring the bush at Field of Mars this term, their
teddies have been sneaking off into the garden to
enjoy a picnic together. What a shock it was for the
children to find their teddies and lunches missing
when they returned from their walk. After following a
series of clues, it was with great releif and delight
to find their teddies in the garden picnicking.
(Shhh! That’s a secret!) The
Teddy Bears’ Picnic
program
focuses on the needs of life and is aimed at Early
Stage 1. It is available at Field of Mars EEC in Term
4 and Gibberagong EEC in Terms 2 and 3. A
Needs of Living Things
unit
is available to support the program.

The
Energy star at Home
website
is a great place for anyone to visit for tips on
energy efficiency inside.
The language at a level suitable for most ages and includes useful links to more detailed energy efficiency information web pamplets.
Field of Mars has a Stage 3 Sustainable house program that sits within a unit of work where all your lesson plans for a term (including outcomes and assessment tasks), supporting resources and at least one visit to your school by Field of Mars staff are provided.
The School visit uses a large 2-3m interactive model of a typical house with interchangeable elements that allows students to discuss, workshop and justify sustainability solutions in areas of waste, transport, energy and water.
As an option, some hands on science experiments can be used to illustrate the “science of sustainability”.

Worm Food Pics

One of the ways to successfully manage worm farms and
compost in schools is to use visual images as a
reminder of what can or cant be recycled.
The worm food picture set has images we use at Field of Mars to reinforce what our worms can or cannot eat.
