Year 5 and 6 Camp
I was lucky to spend some 3me at the Year 5 and 6 camp last week.
What a great educa3onal and social learning opportunity for all of our Thur-Fri 21AB and 22ⁿD February
children. The children were constantly prac3cing their CARE values and Yr 1 and 2 Camp
REAL skills.
I spent the day at the Adventure Forest. Every single child ( and some adults) Friday 1AB March
got out of their comfort zone and challenged themselves. School Triathlon
When I went around to camp I always saw our parents displaying our CARE
values by s3ll working and suppor3ng the children even aIer they had spent Tuesday 5th March
a whole day ac3vely involved in physical ac3vi3es. I would like to thank the PTA Mee3ng in staffroom
staff and the parents who made this trip possible. You all contributed to
giving the children an awesome experience that they will always remember.
