Multiage–Celebrating Learning

“It’s amazing being back at TPS because we have not been here for a long time and we missed our integrated classes at TPS and we missed our TPS friends. We have done lots of things since we have been back at Croxton and TPS.

We dressed up for Halloween and we decorated the library with lots of spooky things from the Performing Arts Storeroom. We did Halloween activities like trick or treating inside and writing stories and we did scary green screen photos.

We couldn’t go Blackwood for our 3 day school camp so the camp came to us on Zoom. We wore our camping clothes and we had lots of yummy camp food like sausages in bread, hot chips and treats like popcorn, chips, lollies and smores.

Every day we zoomed with the camp leaders and then we did activities like warm up team games, blindfold trust walk, Indigenous Art symbols, QR code scavenger hunts for the animals near Blackwood, hiding and finding our decorated wombats, minibeast hunts and putting up a tent in the library.

It was lots of fun and a bit like being at camp but not as good because we couldn’t stay all night.

Last week we went on a whole day excursion to Ceres to learn about Aboriginal culture and languages and plants. We tasted lots of indigenous plants and some tasted nice and some were yuck. We made paint from ochre rocks and we did designs on our arms and faces. We dressed up like cockatoos and kangaroos and eels and we acted in the Tiddilick story.

Then we packed all our things from the Library in Croxton and we moved back to TPS in the bus.”
