Making a Mosaic with Bunnings

Emily from Bunnings came to the College and taught us how to make a mosaic!  Students were able to create their own design from all the amazingly colourful tiles and glass that she brought with her.  We decided that this activity was incredibly relaxing plus we had a beautiful creation at the end.  Thanks so much Emily!!!
