A Fabulous Year in the Rooms 12 and 13 Hub.

by Anna Lawson

We have had such a great year in the Room 12 and 13 Hub. The children have explored Rock Pools, had their own Mini Commonwealth games, created masks and posters of their favourite places. They have enjoyed a variety of sporting activities, with ball skills, skipping, swimming to name a few. Amazing art work is proudly displayed throughout the Hub. Mrs Bonney and I felt with all the super things we have been up to the children would like to share what they enjoyed the most. Here is a small sample of what they had to say.
