Home Education: Roots and Shoots – Rye Harbour (21/10/24)

Leader: Aimi Rifat

Discover how wild plants on the nature reserve differ from plants in the garden and how they adapt to survive the harsh landscape here. We'll meet at the kiosk at Rye Harbour car park and walk along the pathway into the nature reserve to identify different wild plants. Suitable for children aged 5 to 11 years, who must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
If the weather is poor, we'll use microscopes in the Discovery Centre to look at the plants in detail and discuss features that allow them to adapt. We'll then use a mark-making activity, with natural materials, to explore patterns and textures found in nature.

Location: Meet at Rye Harbour Car Park.
