25.01.2022 Over the past week the School Age children embarked on creating a wonderful gift for the special men in their lives. Extending their fine motor skills through a life skill of learning to hammer nails, the children painted their wood. Choose their design and hammered the nails in. Once this was complete they used wool or twine to weave around thr nails to complete their message. The children enjoyed this experience so much they have already decided to do personalised name pl...aques of their own during the school holidays.
