Due to the current COVID restrictions in place, please note that this excursion has been rescheduled from Thursday, 29th April to Thursday, 13th May. Those parents who previously registered their interest in being a parent helper or anyone else who may wish to assist with this excursion, are asked to complete the online parent helper form linked below.
As a part of our literacy program this term, we will be exploring the story ‘The Complete Adventures of Sungglepot and Cuddlepie’. Students will be identifying the setting and characters of the tales as well as recognising the beginning, middle and end events. Students will, through story mapping, drama and art, retell the events of the tales.
At Kings Park, an interactive guided session of the Snugglepot and Cuddlepie tale is offered.
‘Join Snugglepot, Cuddlepie and Little Ragged Blossom as they go on a Kings Park adventure in search of their missing bush treasures. May Gibb’s original characters and illustrations are re-worked to inspire nature-based creative literacy. Students are immersed in the narrative through drama, hands-on exploration and inspiration from the Australian Bush.’
This guided session will be a great introduction for the students where they will be able to explore and discover in nature. Later on in the day, the students will have time to explore the Rio Tinto Naturescape where the students will be emerged in nature, working together, problem solving and being creative!
We will require 5 parent helpers who are prepared to travel by bus and be responsible for a small group of children as we spend our day at Kings Park. Unfortunately, parents with siblings joining them will not be suitable for volunteering as a parent helper on this excursion. After conducting a raffle of names, we will inform you as soon as possible if you have been selected to attend. If you are interested in being a parent helper for this excursion, please complete the online parent helper form linked below.
