Our Grade 2 Sleepover was a huge success!! 🏕️

We started the night with afternoon tea and play time in the beautiful garden!🪾

Then we came up to the classroom for our first activity- pass the parcel! 🕺

Next was a very impressive newspaper fashion show, complete with a catwalk showcasing their amazing creations! 💃

We then began some of our games including egg and spoon race, balloon bouncing and squish the ball!! We even did it in the main corridor 🤫

Next we went out onto the prep deck for some sausage sizzle dinner and a juice (thanks so much to Paula and Alesha for cooking this!)🌭🧃

Afterwards we thought we would make the most of the leftover daylight so we headed to the oval for some outside time. We played tiggy (Indi and Hayden were VERY good at this) and had a play on the playground. 🏃‍♂️

Next it was time to set up camp! We all set up our gear in the Library and we used teamwork to get everyone’s mattresses in and ready! ⛺️

Then it was PJ and movie time with a special movie snack of popcorn! 🍿

It was then sleep time while our teachers got to enjoy a cheeseboard provided by the lovely Grade 2 parents (sooo kind and thoughtful- we can’t thank you enough!!) 🧀

In the morning we woke up for some brekky, did a big pack up (teachers are now professional sleeping bag packers) and said good bye!! 🥣

We couldn’t be prouder of this group of kids. There were some nerves as this was their first experience with a school camp/sleepover but EVERY single student stayed through the whole night with big smiles and happy attitudes!! What amazing kids they are with beautiful manners, kindness for each other and positivity! We are so proud of them all!! 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷
