They are now living in AMPS Spoonville (which is in the garden bed on the west side of the school). When you are out walking this week you might want to walk pass the school and have a look. If you would like to make a Spoon character to add to our Spoonville feel free to join in the fun! If you dont have access to Spoons you are welcome to create a Rock character that can live in the neighbouring suburb of AMPS Rockville! Spoon and Rock characters can be dropped off at the office when they are finished and our little Spoonville Monitors will put them carefully in our Spoonville. Get creative and have fun!! #altonameadowsps
