Bushwalk
Unfortunately, due to the wet weather, the bush walk to Heritage Lodge that was scheduled to happen tomorrow, has been postponed to a later date. We will advise you when this will take place once the day is finalised. Please contact us if you would like to come on this bush walk.
Trials
After reading research we are going to trial students playing first at lunchtime and then eating their lunch.
Students also need named water bottles, as we encourage water rather than sugary drinks, please. We are also going to promote litterless lunches. This means students will be encouraged to have re-usable packets or plastic containers in their lunch box, as part of our move to become more environmentally friendly. The beeswax wraps the students made for lamb and calf day can be also used for wrapping sandwiches or other food. We suggest these do not go in the dishwasher but are wiped or handwashed in warm water.
Pat has kindly steamed the T Shirt designs but we suggest another steaming with an iron, and hopefully the fantastic designs the students made will last. This needs to be done with a steam iron but do not touch the fabric paint with the iron as this will result in the paint melting.
The pottery candle holders have been rubbed with a sand stone by the students, but please check there are no scratchy bits left to scratch your furniture.
Feilding High School Farm Visit
Thank you to all those parents who assisted with transport to the Feilding High School Robotic Dairy unit last Friday and to Pat our reliable bus driver for taking the bus. Our students and parents found the visit very interesting.

Again, please let us know a.s.a.p if you are able to help with transport, but we may be able to take the bus if need be again on this day.
Sunsmart
We encourage all students to be sunsmart, they need a named hat with a brim everyday, these can be left at school and their own sun block please, as some students suit different products.
