Parent helpers who have volunteered to run an activity may like to meet Miss Ashby down at the park at 9am. This will allow you the time to run through your activity & instructions. Each activity will be run by a minimum of 2 adults. Children will participate in all activities. There are 7 activities planned for each year and the size of each group is 8-9 children. The small size of the groups ensures greater participation.

From there we will load up in the rear parking bay and transport equipment down to the park. Equipment Setup If you have volunteered to help set up and lay out the park ready for activities, please meet us down at the park at around 8.30am. Alternatively you can meet us at school and we will head down together. Fruit Class reps are being given the task of coordinating fruit for students to have during breaks and to refuel after an active morning. If you can help with this you may like to get in touch with your class rep. Parents bringing fruit it will be a great help if you can deliver supplies directly to the park.
