Pet Day

Room 8 had such a fun day today at pet day. We were impressed with all the different creations made by each class. There were decorated gumboots, miniature farms, pinecone owls, paper mache masks and many more cool things. Some children even won an award. We enjoyed looking at the different pets too, and watching children lead their lambs and calves around the ring - they were so obedient! It was an awesome day.

Cross Country

              

Get your running shoes on, it's time for cross country! Cross Country is on Friday the 23rd of October. In the first two weeks we will be doing training each day, running around the school field. The children will set goals each day e.g. My goal is to run 5 laps, My goal is to run 2 laps without stopping. Please make sure your child brings a change of clothes to run in each day. The cross country course is over the road in a paddock with lots of hills and mud!
