“Nature Up Close” transforms Picket Fence Farm into a structured outdoor science learning space. Students observe animals, identify their needs, explore textures and features, investigate bird patterns, and engage in guided clay modelling. Through sensory engagement and structured reflection, students develop early scientific understanding of living systems.
Students will:
• Identify different farm animals and birds
• Recognise that living things need food, water, shelter, and care
• Observe textures such as fur, feathers, and scales
• Explore how animals eat and move
• Express learning through drawing and discussion
By the end of the program, students will:
• Name at least three animals observed
• State one need of a living thing
• Describe one texture or feature
• Complete a structured reflection card
• Demonstrate gentle and safe interaction
