​

One of our five preschool groups each week, GUMNUTS educators and children spend much of their time learning in an area of Crawford Park, affectionately known as 'Bush World' . During the mornings they care for the environment and learn new skills, such as tool work, weaving, nature crafts and identification of plants and animals. Afternoons are spent back at preschool researching, planning and working on projects begun outside the fence, incorporating literacy, numeracy and many other key learning concepts to achieve the expected learning outcomes of the Early Years Learning Framework  in a very practical, active and contextual manner.​

​

Gumnuts are a registered Junior Landcare group and are currently planting for regeneration and development of this area as a learning environment. ​
