Thalgarrah

Last Monday 31 October, KG and KR visited Thalgarrah Educational Centre. A huge thank you to the four amazing parents who came to Thalgarrah with us. We all had a wonderful time and learnt many new things. 

Here are some writing samples from the students about their day:

We went to Thalgarrah on the bus. Then we met the spiny leaf insect. After that we met the lizard. We went on a teddy bears picnic.

Yesterday we went to Thalgarrah with KG on a bus. We played a game where we needed enough of PAWS. We all got to have a turn of being a bear.

Yesterday we went on the big bus to Thalgarrah and when we were on the bus it was very bumpy. After morning tea, we learnt about P.A.W and S.

On Monday we went to Thalgarrah and we followed the clues to find our teddies. When we went back inside we got to pat Rapunga and he was very cute. On the way home my friend had a sleep and he was snoring.
