What a fantastic day room 9 had exploring the different activities available during discovery. One of the most popular tasks was the sand saucer practice for pets day. There was sand and flowers everywhere. Everyone had a fantastic time!!

End of Term

We finished off the end of a very busy term today by decorating biscuits. We made some very cute - and scary creatures. Unfortunately Mrs Kanes phone wouldnt work when we tried to take a photo of them. But please be assured......they tasted delicious!!

We wish you all a relaxing and enjoyable holiday break.

Today was awesome. Our discovery focus was - helping to tidy up. We discussed what it looked and sounded like in the class. Then we put it into action when we played with Oobleck, ate popcorn, made sherbet, made sand volcanoes, watched a robot and joined in heaps of other activities. Awesome, awesome, day!!
