On Friday, Gore Main School had an exciting afternoon. A piece of once un-used land has been opened to the school. Our principal, Kath Russell shared some words about our new learning opportunity. Explaining that the school was to use their imagination to utilise a piece of unused land
A school treaty was created and read by two senior classroom representatives. It was later signed by members of the school promising to be considerate, use their initiative and to demonstrate the school values within the new play area.
Using a set of wire cutters our oldest pupil within the school, opened up our once unused space to the school.
An oak tree was donated by two previous Gore Main students. It was planted to represent new beginnings within the school by members of our Enviro-group.
The children had a fantastic time exploring their future 'curiosity garden' or 'inspiration playground'.
Like any good inquiry project, we are in the 'middle of muck' stage, where our students are still undecided on how they would like to use the area or even what to call it.
Staff are striving to create unique areas within the space with our students in order for them to have complete buy in and ownership of the area.
