Homeschooling Oma’s musings

 We recently attended Spring Jam 2023 held at the Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens and had a wonderful time.  Grace and Rosalie started off our visit by drumming with the Junkyard Beats and thoroughly enjoyed themselves!  Then we did a round of the obstacle course, Sam raced around by himself while Gracie and Rosie teamed up together to complete it.  Lorelei preferred to try some sections and skipped others as she went around the course with me. The support workers for this activity were so friendly and encouraging, adding greatly to the children's confidence and enjoyment. After a quick photo and chat with the Larger-Than-Life florals we were off for the children to try the Circus Workshop where they had varying degrees of luck spinning plates on sticks!  The Games Garden was our next point of call with Lorelei in particular loving the giant chalk board. It was also here that we encountered one of the roving keepers with a baby kangaroo, with Grace, Sam and Rosali...

 It has been a while between posts as life got very busy! Meanwhile Grace, Sam, Rosalie and Lorelei successfully completed the 2023 MS Readathon raising a total of $543.46 and reading 302 books!  They all loved the experience and were very excited to raise this much money for such a wonderful cause. We have big plans for next years MS Readathon fund raising and will be attempting a more ambitious book total too!
