A teacher, university lecturer, wildlife specialist and horticultural enthusiasts has set up a bush playgroup at Sunshine Beach State School on Tuesday mornings that is drawing pre-schoolers and their families from across Noosa.
“We get down and dirty with a variety of activities each week,” teacher Bec Kennett said. “We’ve made succulent planters wrapped in paper bark, natural teepees and so much more,” she said.
“Our team work together to provide a fun filled environmentally charged journey each week that families will remember way into the future.”
The Sunshine Bush Playgroup team includes Bec, environmental science lecturer Di Seels, bird lover and nature specialist Bob Carey and horticulture specialists Anika and Stephen.
Some kids just want to play with the worms in the worm bath or create clay creations while other like to sit under the fruit trees with volunteer Bob Carey and listen to his stories about plants and animals.
“It is all about connecting with each other and the environment around us. I feel the more we get out and just be, then, that’s what great memories are made of,” Di Seels said.
One mum said the playgroup was the highlight of her son’s week.
The playgroup is free and open to all families with under school age children. For further information call Bec Kennett on 5474 6333.
