Kahikatea Trip to Ferrymead
Kia ora whānau,
We are very excited about our upcoming trip to Ferrymead Heritage Park on Wednesday the 24th February. This trip links strongly to our theme of ‘Change’ and a main focus will be on heritage toys/ games, and their development over time. Our tamariki will be divided into five groups and participate in the following workshops:
- Heritage games
- Homemade toys
- Science of toys
- Maori toys and games
We will also go on the tram, have a tour around the village and dress up in old fashioned clothing. On the day of the trip, your child/children will need to:
- Be at school by 8:45am
- Bring a substantial amount of food in their lunchbox
- Bring a full drink bottle
- Have sunblock applied before arriving
- Ensure their sunhat is at school (if unsure, send a spare)
- Bring a light waterproof layer if it appears overcast
- Wear comfortable shoes
Helpers:
We will need approximately 2 whanau helpers for each group. This will involve helping to oversee small groups of learners, supporting food breaks and joining in with activities.
For health and safety reasons we are unable to accommodate siblings/preschoolers. We do have some room for whānau who need to come with us on the bus, otherwise there is ample parking at Ferrymead.
Please make contact with your child’s home group teacher if you are able to help us on the day.
The cost of this trip is covered by your school donation.
Ngā mihi nui,
Team Kahikatea
