SUMMARY:Junior Herbalist Club (West Ryde) - Sign up today for Monthly Meetings
DESCRIPTION:Junior Herbalist Club (JHC) is a 2-year extracurricular course for children (aged 7-12\, but teens also welcome) which runs for 90 minutes\, once a month\, for 10 months of the year. \nJunior Herbalist Club has been designed to engage and educate children\, on a journey of discovery through play to learn about the healing and medicinal plants all around them in a safe and supervised environment. The course covertly incorporates core subjects including English\, Maths\, Biology\, Chemistry\, Botany\, Latin and Cookery\, as well as helps children to gain in confidence\, improve fine motor control and develop a new skill set. \nEach month the children learn about the medicinal uses of plants and make something to take home (lavender bags\, lip balms\, bath bombs and much more!!). JHC has been planned so that each month the children build on their knowledge and skills. In the second year\, the tasks become more complex\, building on the skill set developed in the first year. At the end of each session the children are given a worksheet to complete so they can develop a portfolio of learning. \nThe course includes: \n\nIdentification of common herbs growing all around\nSafety – which herbs are safe to use and which are poisonous\nFolklore – taught through stories and songs\nHow to grow and harvest herbs\nMedicinal uses of common herbs\nHow to use a variety of common herbs for first aid\nHow to make a variety of herbal preparations to keep and take home\nRespect for all plants and their environment\n\nJHC was created and developed by Medical Herbalist Mel Hornby and has been delivering herbal education to children in the UK since 2014\, and is now available in Australia. \n \nVirginia Maddock has been a qualified herbalist since 2000 and will be offering this wonderful education in plant healing for children in West Ryde\, and other areas if there is interest\, from February. \nJHC is designed for 7-12yo’s\, however teens also really enjoy these classes too.
