Kids have loved learning lots of new skills on their computers.

Towards the end of term, students have been working on

Botanical Gardens Celebration

We are really looking forward to walking to the gardens, to celebrate our learning in geography of natural and built places and how they can change. We have thrived when designing playgrounds and a classroom as well as mapping the Green Nest area.
