Granparent's Day

We had a wonderful day sharing stories about toys and games with our Grandparents and families at school.

Thank you to everyone who came along to play marbles, knuckle bones, hula hoops and other games. We have learnt how much fun you can have with hand made toys and games instead of devices.

Old toys and games

 





We wrote a thank you letter together to Alan at Mystery Creek. He explained how Mystery Creek got its name and how to play the old games - skittles, tug of war, stilts, throw the horse shoe and hoop and stick.

Thank you BJ, Stacey and Mrs Read we LOVED making pizzas, especially squishing the butter in the flour. We were allowed to eat our pizzas for lunch. Some of us took our pizza's home for our Mum's.
