Teacher Bella’s class, the Wild Plums (Grades 2–4), have been busy learning about the rainforest! 🌳They’ve created beautiful mixed-media displays to demonstrate the different forest layers and compiled research posters to present their findings to the class. Each day, they work on their Explorer Journals and, when there’s time, squeeze in a little silliness too!😜

🌿Learning through nature, building through teamwork, and growing through experience.🌿

Last week, our Wild Olive class (Grades 5–7) explored survival and engineering techniques by building baskets and structures from sticks, using tension, balance, and natural materials.

They discovered how these simple elements can work together to create strength and stability, all without nails or modern tools.

⚒️On Saturday, the Bushwillow family, old and new, gathered for our Maintenance Morning. In just three hours, we achieved nearly everything on our ‘To Do’ list — plus a few extras that got snuck in along the way!

Coming together to care for, repair and improve a school that means so much to us all is the Bushwillow spirit personified 💚. We are so very grateful to every one of you for your time, energy and enthusiasm! 🙏
