What a wonderful afternoon we had visiting WAMA Foundation! โ๏ธ๐
Our visit began with a beautiful picnic lunch on the verandah, soaking up the sunshine while taking in the stunning gardens and surrounds. It was the perfect way to start an afternoon full of learning, curiosity and connection.
Students then rotated through a range of incredible activities organised by the extremely talented and knowledgeable Education Officer, Nicole.
Activities included:
-A guided walk through the gardens where students spotted special plant species and learnt about the importance of the gardens and conservation.
-An AMAZING gallery tour led by Nicole, where students discovered fascinating facts all about fungi. Students were so engaged, with many exclaiming that their โbrains explodedโ and that they couldnโt wait to share all of their new knowledge with their families!
-A fungi art colouring activity in the multipurpose room, where students were inspired to continue observing and learning about the colours and shading techniques found in fungi.
We are so grateful to WAMA Foundation for allowing us the opportunity to form this wonderful connection and partnership. A huge thank you to Nicole for sharing her passion, enthusiasm and incredible knowledge with both our students and staff.
All staff and students at HGPS were absolutely amazed by the enthusiasm Nicole brought to every activity and conversation, and how lucky we are to have such an incredible learning opportunity right down the road from us.
We are so excited to continue this connection and provide our students with more opportunities to learn from the amazing experiences WAMA shares with us.
