Term 3 with Springton Primary School! 💚
We had two great sessions with Springton Primary school during the term, one at the school, and one at our Environment Centre/recreate!
An excursion to visit us included a plastics recycling workshop turning old bottle tops into combs, insect hotel making, and planting out a pollinator garden!
Our visit to them saw a session on reusing paper scraps to make new sheets of colourful paper! 🤩
We look forward to continuing our visits with Springton Primary School next term!

A few happy snaps from last week’s creative kids workshop! 🐸🎨

We started by decorating frog instruments, then followed the kids’ imaginations into all sorts of colourful, creative places. So much joy in seeing what they come up with!

We’re doing it all again this Wednesday, 7 October, 10am–1pm at Recreate.

In term 3 we teamed up with the 4/5/6 class at Mount Pleasant Primary School to help rewild part of their school grounds🌱

On planting day, we put in around 70 native plants to help create habitat for local wildlife. We also talked about which species might benefit as the plants grow, and spoke about being part of the River Torrens catchment, and that we all have a role to play.

It might not look like much just yet, but we’re hoping that in the years to come this first patch will look a little like the first image.

This is just the beginning. We’re planning to come back and keep building on what the students have started.

This work was supported by a grant from Northern and Yorke Landscape Board, and Green Adelaide. Also thanks the Seeding Natives Incorporated who supplied some additional plants, and thanks to the Mount Pleasant Golf Club for supplying the logs for the garden edging and habitat.
