Sensory garden

Blog post by Esmae, Yvette, Xena, Alex, Edward and Flynn.

The sensory garden opened last Friday, the 23 of August. The sensory garden was built next to 5/6 playground, next to the big oval, and it has been crowded ever since.

The garden includes a shell pit, instead of the sandpit we have in the prep playground. It also has a water pump, which pumps onto rocks, the water pump is one of the most crowded parts of the garden. We have included many paths and plants, and small wood parts which people play the floor is lava on. It has parts of tree trunks which people sit and jump on.

We asked some people what they thought about it.

Morgan said, “It’s nice, I particularly like the stepping stones.”

Reuben said, “I like the trees and interacting with the garden.”

Zoe said, “I like the drum because it makes fun noises.”

That’s what they think about the sensory garden, we got positive results and most people think the sensory garden was a good touch to the school. 

We think the sensory garden is good because it’s a social place and some people are collaborating with nature.
