The children have missed Kristi this term as she takes some much needed time to rest and recuperate. We are all looking forward to seeing her back in Term 4 and I know that she is looking forward to being back in the Earth Station.

We are very grateful to Lyra’s mum Linda who stepped in for the last two weeks to lead us all in weaving! With bundles of Asparagus Fern and Wonga Wonga, she got us all started on creating beautiful baskets. It was hard work but the children persevered and many of us took home beautiful baskets that we will cherish...and feel confident to try again when we see the right creepers invading our gardens!

If a parent has a particular skill that they would like to share in the Bush School context, please get in touch with us. The children are so proud to show off their parents’ special talents! We’re also very happy to accept donations of materials that we can use to build or create so if you have a surplus of any material and you feel that we could use it, please call in or email and I’m sure we could put it to good use! I’m always on the hunt for wool and thread for the many craft and weaving projects.

We have loved these fresh Djilba mornings and have a few surprises in store for the last two Bush Schools of this term! Stay tuned!
