P-2 Visit Parade College for Book Week
On Thursday, August 22nd, the Prep - 2 Village was invited to share in some fun book week activities with the Parade boys. Imogen, who was dressed up as Hermione from Harry Potter, met us at the start and took us through three rotating activities with some of the Parade students. They read stories to us in one group, played a Kahoot quiz with us in the 2nd group and then guided us through creating a character using instructions. We all had a great time.
