Our Wangaratta Walk

On Monday the 2nd of May, both Foundation classes and some amazing parent helpers set off for a walk around the Wangaratta CBD. We walked out the back gate onto Murphy Street. From there we waved our way past all the shops to the Hollywood's Cafe corner where we crossed the road to have a sneak peak at the St. Patricks Church. Very excitedly, we wandered down to the Museum where we pretended to drink like horses in the trough out the front. After a good giggle, we moved on towards the Wangaratta Performing Arts Centre where we had a chat about some of the things we had seen and done there, then we looked across the road at the Wangaratta Government Centre. We continued on to the Cenotaph where we had a look around and took some rubbings of the canons.  From there we moved to the Cathedral where we were in awe of the amazing bell tower and beautiful stained glass windows. Beginning to tire, we persisted past the Town Library then back to the Government Centre roundabout, past Woolworths and on to have a play at King George Gardens. One we had replenished our energy, we sped down to the Swing Bridge, which was unfortunately closed due to maintenance. So we continued on our way, checking out the history of the Wangaratta Punt then across the bridge to the Apex Park. Our teachers gave us break here and we got to eat our snack then have a super fun play on the playground. Afterwards, we walked under the Ovens River Bridge then over it, turned at the Faithfull Street corner and wearily entered the Pioneer Cemetary. Slowly, we crossed the road and returned to school.
