From the Classroom

Year 1 & 2 Camp Day

Our day began with a hike to the 100 Acres, followed by various activities throughout the day.  Highlights from the day included; stick craft (using the twigs we collected on our hike), yoga, team building games, making damper and sitting around a 'campfire' to eat it, creating obstacle courses then performing drama acts using the obstacles they created. 

In the afternoon we were entertained by several talented and creative students who performed in the Talent Show. We had singers, dancers, musicians and gymnasts! 

We all enjoyed a delicious BBQ dinner and dessert to end a fabulous day!

Thank you to all the parents and staff who helped to make this a fun and enjoyable Camp Day.

Year 1 &2 Bundoora Heritage Village Excursion

Year one and two students went on an excursion to explore Bundoora Heritage Village. We enjoyed learning about life in the past and how technology, school and life have changed over time. 

Some highlights from the day included; playing old fashioned games, churning butter, washing clothes by hand with a washboard, exploring an old printing press and going on a buggy ride to see some wildlife. 

Many of us were surprised to visit the old school and discover that "children should be seen and not heard." Having a go at writing using a nib and ink was very interesting. 

Thank you to all of the year one and two students and the teaching staff for making it such a wonderful, happy day!

Foundation Camp Day

Foundation Camp day was so much much. We spent lots of time in our beautiful POPS natural surroundings.

Our day began with all the Foundation students setting up the sleeping room. We had lots of blankets, pillows and teddy bears filling the classroom of Foundation M. 

Then we had our first activity - nature craft. We collected leaves, sticks, grass and nuts to create an insect we would find in nature

After nature craft we all went into Foundation A - The food hall. We all sat together and shared a wonderful morning tea prepared by our parent helpers. We ate lots of fruit, veggies, crackers and cheese, dips and kabana.

After recess we made tents for our teddies

The we finished our outside activities with a scavenger hunt.

What a fun and enjoyable Camp Day!
