At The Farm Byron Bay we encourage kids to enjoy and learn from the surroundings of a real working farm. Farm Kids inspires and educates children through our programs about where food comes from and introduces them to concepts like paddock rotation for the animals, the importance of pollination, organic farming, crops, healthy soil, composting and other ethical farming practices. Children can meet our animals and watch them in their natural surroundings and be amongst our chickens whilst enjoying some of the best things in life, sunshine and fresh air. December January School Holiday Program At the beginning of each workshop we take the children on an educational and fun tour of The Farm. We educate them about our pigs, bees, chickens, flower crops, herb garden, orchard and veggie crops. The children get up close and personal with our pet chickens, pick and taste veggies, edible flowers and herbs.

Term Topic Each term, we develop a set of lesson plans based on a new topic to keep your child engaged. The term topic supports learning of techniques and artistic styles presented in the context of an art movement or famous artist Introducing a fresh topic each term enhances student interest and engagement, accelerating the learning process. The Topic for Term 4 2024 is Post-Impressionism. Enrol now for Term 4. Art Classes starts on Monday 14 Oct 2024 and run for 9 weeks.

Exploration of Composition and Form: Students will learn techniques for organizing space and forms within a painting. Artists like Cézanne introduced geometric shapes and played with perspective, and students will practice simplifying objects into basic forms to explore composition. Experimentation with Brushwork and Texture: Post-Impressionist artists employed a wide range of techniques, from van Gogh’s thick, dynamic brushstrokes to Seurat’s precise pointillism. Students will learn different ways to apply paint t
