carefully. Learn about the life cycle of the plant and discover more about the
flower sepals, petals, carpal, nectarines, receptacle and stamens. You will be
shown examples of botanical illustration and choose and then develop your own
style to illustrate and annotate your discoveries using pencil and ink. All
drawings will be available to take home.
Time
Travellers for Years 5-6

back and forwards in time to discover more about the past and shape the future.

in 1840? We will be talking to people from the past, solving puzzles, and
letting our imaginations stretch hundreds of years forward! If you like
history, storytelling and puzzles, or just want to try thinking in different
directions, this masterclass will be a fun-filled and challenging day! You will

and share with your families.
