Thank you to all the parents who helped at camp and to those who helped to transport. Children had a wonderful camp and they have no doubt told you all about their experiences. Thank you for all the lovely baking that was sent along to camp, we had plenty to eat and we even had some extra to share with the class last week back at school.

Children will be adding camp photos to their blogs this week. They can choose from a wide range of photos made by a number of people. Children will also write about their experiences and it is part of Home Learning to share this with family. Please add comments on your child's blog.

Camp is finally upon us and the weather looks great for our time away. Thank you to all the parents and grandparents who have offered to help us.

Below is information about camp.

• Bring all your gear to Room 3. If your parent/grandparent is transporting, leave your gear in the car.
• Park in the scooter area - the gate on Ranolf Street will be open for you to drive in. The Life Education Classroom will be parked there as well, but there will be plenty of room to park cars there or near the field.
• If you have medication, bring it to Room 3, clearly labelled and in a clear plastic bag. Give the medication to Mrs Ash who will be waiting in Room 3. Please note: if you have indicated that you take medication then it must be taken on camp.
