P5A Outdoor Learning Bridge Building

Sam K, Zac and Saad did a fantastic job of organising a fun filled golden time today. With the help of Ms Christie we used the loose parts materials to build bridges. There was lots of problem solving and team work involved and everyone in p5a approached the task with loads of enthusiasms. Great job Guys!
