Incursions and Excursions

Bring learning to life with a Nature Play SA incursion, excursion, or whole school event.

Our nature-inspired education programs are tailored to suit your students and their stage of learning.

 

All programs are aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework and Australian Curriculum and showcase approaches to learning in the outdoors. Through our program’s students will;

  • Develop specific skills and knowledge to be confident and capable operators in the outdoors.
  • Explore human-nature relationships and steps to engage with nature and culture in a positive and meaningful way.
  • Take action to live a more sustainable life and share messages of hope for the conservation of local flora and fauna.
  • Identify ways they can influence their own health and wellbeing through nature connection and being active in the outdoors.

 

Incursions

Delivered through storytelling and play, our nature-based incursions support children to create, imagine, explore, and discover. Using the natural world as our provocation, students will learn about human-nature connection, conservation and sustainability and explore curriculum connections throughout.

Interested in organising a whole school event or celebration? We can tailor a program to your needs.

We had such an amazing morning. The students were so engaged and great to see lots of collaboration, negotiation, creativity and imagination being used in a simple, yet effective way. Will definitely be using the Natural Elements program again.

Educator - Mitcham Primary School, March '23

This is the fifth time I have been with our school! Every time the students, teachers and parent helpers enjoy the experience. Just enough information is given for the age of the students. Thank you for having this wonderful experience in Belair National Park.

Educator - Woodend Primary School, March '23

The children were mesmerised by the environment and the information given. Children loved being outdoors and were engaged all the time. Our cubby building day in Belair National Park was awesome.

Educator - St Andrew's School, March '23

Your attention to detail in the equipment you provide is outstanding. You set the scene pefectly for children's curiosity, creativity and open-ended engagement. So many skill building opportunities: collaboration, vocabulary, risk taking, team building...

Educator - Port Noarlunga Primary School, April '23

We loved our Free-Play Mini-Festival so much! Our children were so engaged in all activities and begged for us to do it again. We also appreciate the agency children had to expore and engage with activities. Our children are now feeling so inspired to play in nature and have so many more ideas on how they can connect to country!
