Curious and creative Nature play
Children have a curious and creative eye for these projects and find wonder and beauty in the littlest things, things which adults often take for granted. All you need to create your own weaving loom is a scrap of cardboard plus some string, wool or even rubber bands will do.
The loom will take just a few moments to create and is an excellent task in itself to build fine motor skills in young children. Once you've made your loom it is as easy as going for stroll into the garden or a patch of bush to see what natural treasures can be found to weave into your loom.
The Bruny Island Prep/1 class loved roaming the school-grounds looking for special gifts from nature to create patterns and contrast in their weaving projects.

Supergroms Cleanup at Alonnah
On Tuesday the 25th of March 2025, the Cloudy Bay Supergroms did a beach cleanup at Alonnah. We drove to the car park on the Dray Track and walked to the rocky beach where we found HEAPS of rubbish like little bits of plastic, lolly pop sticks and rope.
