Adamama Jnr
Playgroup: Adamama Jnr offers a play-based outdoor learning experience for young children to interact with nature and engage in a range of experiences that supports their learning and development. Our playgroups are flexible, working around the interests of the children and aimed at connecting them to nature through a range of fun, sensory and hands-on activities as well as providing endless opportunities for unstructured play. We aim to create a place of belonging, build an appreciation and awareness of nature, the environment and sustainability.
We welcome all members of the community to join us. All materials and equipment are provided; you just need to book-in and turn up. Suitable clothing includes comfy clothing that may get dirty, hats, closed toe shoes and wet weather gear if it is raining (it is an all-weather playgroup).
Book in a preschool excursion: Our workshops are about allowing children to take the lead in their outdoor education.
We have created a selection of different topics to support outdoor learning in nature, using nature activities and suggestions to facilitate play rather than teach:
- From a Seed to a Plant
Join us on an exciting journey that starts as a dormant seed. Together, we will explore the parts of a seed and learn what they need to germinate and grow.
- The magical world of Sunflowers
There is so much to learn around magical sunflowers. We will explore their lifecycle, discuss the parts, learn how they grow and share interesting facts about these mystical flowers.
- Wonderful Worms
Love them or not, these creatures play a very beneficial role in soil. We will unearth what they do to help in the composition of waste as well as explore some fun facts about earthworms.
We will also take a look at the parts of an earthworm and learn how they get around without sight, arms, legs or a skeleton.
- Colours in nature
The outdoors is more than the coloured plants we see; it’s also many things you cannot see—such as bacteria, chemical reactions, and water vapor. In fact, the interconnectedness of a garden can inspire all sorts of scientific colour explorations.
We will conduct experiments with the children to make interesting discoveries about colour.
