Year 3 program
It was lovely to have Mrs Sarah Moore back this term after her wonderful trip away. The Year 3s have been very excited to be part of the SAKG program and are loving their kitchen and garden sessions.
This week students have been learning the process for planting seeds and seedlings and correct use of tools, all about soil and decomposition. It was wonderful to see some parents arrive at the garden gate to help the students out.
