Early Years Week was full to the brim with activities with a special focus on what students want to do or be when they grow up.
Wednesday was Career’s Day where Prep children were able to inspect various stations that highlighted different careers. As Firefighters, they got to extinguish ‘fires’ with water and as farmers, they collected milk from a cow. As Detectives, they investigated a crime scene and to find out which bear had stolen some cookies and as Posties they got to post some letters. As Scientists, they experimented with mixing colours in different liquids and the Chefs got to decorate and eat their own biscuits. Builders got to work on constructing houses, Health staff bandaged teddies and Archaeologists did an exploratory dig in the sandpit.
