Excursions
Prep Taylor Excursion
On Thursday the 4th April, Prep Taylor will be doing a bridge walk from Riverbend Park at Inveresk to the Cataract Gorge. This is part of our inquiry and STEAM work around bridges: ‘Why are they useful? How are they made?’
The bus will depart Norwood at 9:20am and return by 1:30pm. Children must wear their PE uniform and comfortable walking shoes. Please be prepared for all weather and pack a hat, coat and jumper. Children will need a packed morning tea, lunch and a big drink. Recess and lunch orders will not be available.
We need lots of adult helpers please! If you are unable to come for the whole time you might like to join us for the walking part which will be from approximately 9:40-11:00am. All adults participating in the excursion must have a WWVP card. Please let me know if you are available. Alison Taylor
Prep CG and Prep MW Excursion
As part of our Inquiry Unit, Needs of Living Things, we will be travelling to Seahorse World on Wednesday 10th April to explore their care.
This will be a full day trip and we will be leaving promptly at 9:05am, returning by 2:30pm. Children will need to wear their PE uniform and carry a hat, coat, drink bottle and full lunchbox as we will be having a picnic lunch at a nearby beach.
Parent help numbers are restricted to one per class so if you have a current WWVP card and you haven’t had the chance to be a helper as yet, please see your child’s teacher.

4H and 3H Excursion to Hollybank
On Thursday 9th May our classes will be travelling by bus to Hollybank. We will be learning more about the life cycles of plants. We will be identifying native plants and recognising environmental factors that affect life cycles and seed germination. This is part of our science inquiry unit which is called Plants in Action.
We will be leaving school promptly at 9:15am in the morning and returning back to school by 2:45pm. All children should wear their PE uniform and bring their hat, jumper and a coat as the Hollybank area can be a lot colder than the city.
We respectfully ask that children do not bring umbrellas as they can become a safety issue. Children will also need a packed recess, lunch and large drink.
