Teddies picnicking

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”.
