Thursday student arrangements: Classes are to remain with their classroom teacher for the showing of animals. Students are expected to be seated in the area if they are not showing their animals. We will arrange some seating in these areas. The expectation is not for students to be in the playground or in classes during displays. Students will have times to take parents/caregivers to look at their art in learning spaces.

DRESS UP LAMBS: Children will decorate/dress up their lamb and themselves in an outfit of their choosing. This is open all year groups and there will be a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd placing. Be as creative as you can be and prepare students to talk about their outfit.
