Cockle Bay Beach Picnic

It was decided that everyone in Cockle Bay School should visit Cockle Bay Beach.  Eight hundred people (students, teachers, teacher aides and parents) walked their and back with their buddy class. After our picnic lunch, we sketched some observational drawings of cockle shells we found on the sand.  Then the whole school posed for a huge group photo with the sea in the background.

It was getting a little chilly and looking rather menacingly like rain, so we walked back up to school earlier than we had expected.  This gave us time to have a school picnic to finish off our lunch in the Nature Walk.  A special thank you to Daniel's Mum (who also took these photos), Ashley's Mum and Kiera's Mum who accompanied us on our walk.

This is the biggest Art Studio we have ever been in!

We used our lunch boxes as little art desks.

Daniel used an information chart to help him with detailing his sketch.

We were such a big group, it was hard to fit us all in the camera viewer!

It was great extending our outdoor experience with a picnic in the Nature Walk after we returned to school.
