The grade 4’s have been designing the Wonga Park garden. They have done a plan of the garden to show what they are going to do and how it will look in the future!
The grade 5 and 6’s have been doing rotations throughout the term. They learnt about Aboriginal culture and ways of living. Each grade 5/6 teacher created 2 workshops for the grade 5/6’s to work on.
