Nature Play:

Our school will be beginning the consultation process for our Nature Play Space soon. We will be asking for ideas from our whole school community so keep an eye out for opportunities to have your say about this exciting project for our school. As part of developing our Nature Play focus at Pimpala, we will be sharing ideas for families about getting outside, whatever the weather. Time in nature is affordable, healthy and close by to everyone. Our local National Park at Hallett Cove is a great option to get out and about this weekend. Here are some ideas for exploring the park:

• Explore the beach for washed up shells, sponges and different types of seaweed.
• Walk from Boatshed Café to Marino Rocks Beach where you will travel along boardwalks and staircases with views of rugged cliffs and other ancient geological marvels.
• On a calm day count the steps of the staircase that leads down to the beach from the boardwalk along Glacier Hike where you can observe life in the rock pools (always keep an eye on the waves).
• Walk the Geological Hike and follow the signs to admire the layered beauty of the Sugarloaf (it is important not to climb the fragile Sugarloaf).
• Hallett Cove is one of the most geologically unique places in South Australia – see how many different coloured and shaped rocks you can find along the shoreline.
