The Prep 1/2 Treasure Hunt! 🗺️🌟
To wrap up the term with a bit of adventure, our amazing Prep 1/2 students went on a treasure hunt—and what a fantastic time they had! With eager eyes and curious minds, they followed clues, solved puzzles, and worked together like true explorers. The excitement was infectious, and the joy on their faces when they found the treasure was diamonds and gold that will that taste delicious.
A great big well done to our clever little adventurers.
