Session summary
This activity has been split over two sessions to learn about the Earth. In this session you’ll collect your materials and in session 2 you will create your pictures of Earth.
Safety message
- Always complete a register at the start of the meeting to record who is present.
- If you are meeting or going out from your usual meeting place, remember there must be a designated leader in charge, who is not counted in the adult to young person ratio.
- Complete frequent headcounts, especially during transitions and activities, to ensure no one is missing and everyone remains safe.
- Plan and be mindful of changing weather conditions, communicate and set boundaries clearly, and have a backup plan just in case.
- Stay in groups, have a buddy system in place, be aware of your surroundings, and have designated meeting points.
