Nature weaving is a great sensory activity where kids can explore different textures and get to know the natural environment around them.</h3><p>The weaving itself helps to develop fine motor skills and provides an opportunity for kids to express themselves creatively. </p><blockquote>The EcoClassroom Sanctuary at Tatachilla Lutheran College is a 3.37 ha revegetated site, modelled on natural ecosystems that once existed in the McLaren Vale region. The sanctuary is home to native fauna including endangered Brush-Tailed Bettongs, Long-Nosed Potoroos and Tammar Wallabies, as well as lizards, frogs and birds throughout.
