Science and Camping
5/10/2019
Thank you to those that came to our last parent event of the year and your continued support throughout the year. Our science expo was certainly an exciting and messy event. From making our own lava lamps, walking water, the mysteries of magic milk and the wet wonders of the leak proof bag it certainly seemed that both parent and student alike had a fun and educating experience. This week we had our overnight camping trip to Birchwood. Our trip started with vitally important research of different playgrounds around town. As we are always looking for ways to improve our playground here at school this was an awesome opportunity to explore and get students perspectives on what makes a playground great. After a picnic lunch it was time to head to camp. Having an end of year trip like an overnight camp is a fantastic way to finish off a long and hard year of learning. It is a celebration as students prepare to move to the next grade as well as it is a chance for students to develop their own sense of self, responsibility and independence and spread their wings. For some students it is possibly the first time they have been separated from their parents for a night and for all students it takes courage to go to a strange new place and look after yourself. Everyone had a fantastic time, it was certainly a great trip and thankfully, though it threatened the rain never quite came making it all the better. Make sure to get plenty of rest this weekend!
