To Room 5 and 6 parents that are coming on camp,

We would like to have a meeting on Wednesday 25 November at 3pm to discuss camp:

  • Expectations
  • Activities
  • Duty groups
  • Transport

The timetable has already been sent home. Parents will be experts at each activity and the children will rotate around them. If you have a preference could you please let us know at the meeting or beforehand. 

If you are unable to attend please let us know. We can also have the option of making it a “zoom” meeting.

Thank you so much for your support

Pet day information

The weather is looking great.

Those with trailers dropping off calves, Ponies and multiple lambs, can you please come in via the far gate on Union Line. There will be a cone out on the road marking the entrance. Those with trailers can drive to the far end of the field to where lambs, calves and ponies can be tied up.

The attached timetable is approximate and we will attempt to stay to the time. Sometimes we are able to move more quickly through the event which will bring other sections forward.

There are cake stalls and BBQ so bring along your coins for a treat.

There are ART displays in each class and we will keep classes open all next week before and after school for you to come and check out the amazing student’s art.

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.
