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!

"Playing is central to children’s physical, mental, social and emotional health and wellbeing and is enshrined in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). Through play, children develop resilience and flexibility, contributing to physical and emotional wellbeing."
