Touchstone Walk

What a wonderful morning we had out in our local community.  I was so proud of the class and the way the went about their jobs this morning.  Room 11 were in 7 groups that they had selected themselves.  In each group they had children from the different teams they have been working in this week, so they had a stone designer, a map maker, an illustrator, and a story writer.  This was important because each group had been allocated a stone to place.  Each group had prepared a map and highlighted the part of the story that told them where they needed to place their stone.
We had wonderful parent helpers and beautiful weather, we set out to place these stones.
 We had to keep checking the story to see where he stones should go.

                                             Our first stone placed outside Nayland Kindy.

 The next stone outside Broadgreen Intermediate.

 Nayland Pools had the next stone.

 Broadgreen History House

 We took a moment to smell the roses.


 And check out the massive trees.

 We had a morning tea break at the Railway Reserve.
