Toddler class welcomed back all parents and children to Term 2 and we are in the beautiful Autumn theme. This term we are enjoying crafts made with leaves and are having fun in the garden watching the surroundings and colours change. We had a lovely little garden party last week and had lots of fun pruning and tidying up the garden. Matt and Candice generously brought us some Spekboom cuttings and showed the children how to plant them, they thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve learnt that this plant is an absolute essential plant to have everywhere.
