Looking for an inspiring school excursion ideas in Sydney? Whether you're organising an event for high school students or even primary schoolLooking for an inspiring school excursion ideas in Sydney? Whether you're organising an event for high school students or even primary school learners, ClassBento has a class that makes learning fun. Give them a different perspective and broaden their horizons. Cultivate a love of learning in them.   Our teachers are flexible, and happy to customise classes to suit your group – that could mean travelling to your venue, reducing the length of the class or customising its content, and tweaking pricing to suit your budget.   And as a nice bonus – the adults (e.g. the accompanying teachers) will have a great time too. Every participant will get to keep whatever they make – perhaps a nice gift for the parents!   Here are our favourite 5 ideas, ones that we wished we had as excursions when we were younger!   Soap making or candle making – the kids will be too busy enjoying themselves to notice that they’re actually getting a valuable lesson in chemistry. Let them express their artistic selves as they select fragrances and the ingredients for their handmade products Terrarium making or Kokedama making – get closer to nature and learn about plants and gardens. The younger ones will love getting their hands stuck into the dirt and soil, and playing with the pebbles and other decorations to decorate their mini gardens – they’ll be exploring their creative side while doing so Screen printing – learn about how photo emulsions work, in a fun screen printing class. The kids can create their own designs, and use those to personalise totes, t-shirts, and more Pottery – don’t have pottery equipment at your school?

Creative After Work Activities in Sydney

By ClassBento Team

After work drinks at the pub are great, but in an exciting young city like Sydney, there's lots more to do and explore in the evening hours especiallyAfter work drinks at the pub are great, but in an exciting young city like Sydney, there's lots more to do and explore in the evening hours especially if you're in need of rainy day activities in Sydney.  Thanks to our local artists, who are willing to share their passion and expertise, we've got a huge variety of secret and less known things to do in Sydney this weekend. Creative workshops are lots of fun, relaxing, and can help you take a real mental break from the stresses of work and beyond, as well as encouraging you to maintain a better balance against digital addictions (aka a great way to start/stay on digital detox). Do something social - go out with some friends or your other half, or take the opportunity to build relationships with some colleagues or clients. Why not meet some like-minded friends-to-be (and maybe even a potential special someone)? Avoid getting stuck and wasting time in peak hour traffic. Take some time for yourself and zen out, and by the time you're done, all those commuters will be gone and you'll have a much smoother and easier time home. #travelhacks Our teachers are flexible and love to teach, so you're welcome to Request an after-hours workshop. Whether you're in Redfern, Marrickville, Rozelle or elsewhere, we'll have a creative class close to you. And if you'd like to spend some time after your usual work hours teaching and getting some additional income, we'd love to hear from you.   Here are some of our favourites: Make a Kokedama or terrarium, in a beautiful Redfern floristry Draw a portrait, perhaps of someone you know (or keep it safe and do something more neutral), under the guidance of a professional illustrator Indulge in cheese, wine... and art of course, in a cozy Rozelle studio. Laugh, chat and create, with a talented artist Learn to make proper coffee in a barista or espresso class, or even jazz it up with a latte art class, with a world champion barista. Get physical and learn to juggle in one of Sydney's beautiful parks (perfect for those longer summer evenings). Take a photography class and develop both your technical skills as well as your artistic approach, with an experienced photographer (smartphones or DSLRs both welcome), in the gorgeous surroundings of The Rocks. It's a perfect time to hone your low-light / night photography skills in particular. ...
