Our Pet Rocks

Our Pet Rocks            As part of our focus on innovation, the children designed and created their own Pet Rocks this week. They then used the strategy of 'upcycling' to be innovative and create habitats for their pet rocks with recycled materials, i.e. cardboard boxes, lids, bottles, coloured card, pipe cleaners etc. The children were very taken with their creations and excited about taking them home.

West Harbour Gardens

West Harbour Gardens Last week, the Year 2 team went on our annual trip to West Harbour Gardens Residential Home. The children had been practising and preparing for this for weeks and were very excited when we ventured out the school gate.  We walked to West Harbour Gardens where we sang a selection of songs to the residents and then gave them gifts that the children had made. After having an ice block, we headed back to school. We walked through the Luckens Reserve Walkway and completed our adventure at the Luckens Reserve where we had a picnic lunch and then a play on the playground. The children (and teachers) were exhausted with achievement, having walked 6kms, and were pleased to be back at school.
