CHOPSUEY ROAMING RADIO

Every Tuesday afternoon a class from the Brunswick Heads School joins garden teacher Anaheke for an outdoor learning lesson. I went along to gather audio from the children, teachers, helpers and school Principle. I was also invited to join the class to make my own banana rope bracelet. I wish I'd gone to a school like this!
