Program Outline

The kindergarten incursions program starts with a short interactive talk with the children about waterbugs. This talk looks at the different habitats in the creek and some ways that waterbugs are adapted to survive.

​We then move into the activities! These include waterbug picking, build-a-creek scene, preserved specimens, puzzles, books and drawing.

​
Our kindergarten workshops always conclude with a short story about taking responsibility for our rubbish to preserve our waterways.
