‘Going to the Garden’
Wednesday April 17th and April 24th 2024
From 11:00 to 12:00
Have you already heard your toddler humming “We’re going to the garden, garden, garden”? That’s the song we sing when we prepare ourselves to go outside. And what a wonderful world we find in our garden! Not only can we run, jump, balance and climb. Each day we can spot something new in nature: a butterfly, a flower, a bug, a big leaf falling from the tree. And of course we need to take care of our garden too: water the plants, rake the leaves, sweep the sand, and so on! The physical activity this provides helps the muscles and coordination develop. In addition to this, we are doing this together! As a result, emotionally the heart develops and working in the ‘here and now’, looking for beauty in nature and developing appreciation. The sence of order and aesthetics develops alongside.
On the Wednesday’s above, we invite you to come with us into the garden. A sign-up list will be provided so that we have two small groups pf parents assisting the children with planting, enjoying the playground and beautiful area next to the ‘Savoorke’ ponds and having a snack together at the picnic tables.
