Adelaide’s grade 2 class are doing a topic on “The Sea” for the fourth term this year. Today they had a class trip to the Melbourne Aquarium.

She has really embraced this topic in a way we haven’t seen before. The diorama she made (which this picture does not do justice to) has been worked on for over a week. The Adelaide of old would tend to rush through something to get it done but she has taken a lot of time with this and worked very carefully to get exactly what she wanted.

It’s also worth noting that this isn’t something she had to do for school: it’s something she’s done in her spare time at home because she wanted to.
