The Archibull Prize is a school based Art4Agriculture initiative that combines agriculture and education through science, art and literacy.
Year four worked industriously to learn all about wool.
They were joined by community members Chris Croker, Adele Offley, Marion Price, Pam Evans, Helen Lowe and Maxine White all demonstrating various phases in the wool production line.
Year four, together with their teachers Mrs Lowe and Mrs O’Keefe, created a blog that featured information, images and videos that documented their learning journey.
The students were excited to learn that their blog, and the multimedia component presented as a dedicated website, won them two highly commended awards.
Year four’s contribution can be viewed at www.thewooldetectives.net.au.
