ROOM 21

It's been a wonderful start to the term in Room 21! Just our second day together, and the students already had a chance to get outside and explore the garden. There was lots of sensory exploration, fresh air, and a few new friendships taking root (pun intended). We're looking forward to building on this positive energy as we settle into our new routines together. More garden adventures to come!

ROOM 25

The boys in Room 25 have been busy learning their groceries at Mini Woolies.

Identifying, categorising and grouping items accordingly. Some students have been ‘playing shops’ with the prices and money with the cash registers too. Room 25 have become fantastic shoppers!!
