Off to our Swimming Carnival!

A very excited crew set off to Taylor Range
for our annual swimming carnival.
Lots of races.
Lots of coloured ribbons.
A great day was had by all.
Mrs Hitzke did plan to take some photos while we were swimming races, but she was too busy to get her camera out. Ahhh well!

Making toys with 3 pieces of cardboard!

Our Fantastic Toy Projects!

Mrs Hitzke thought our toy projects were great!

All aboard, we're homeward bound!

Lots of things to ride on and lots of things to play in!

We started the day with morning tea and a climb on the old train engine.

Guess what toy I am?

Jacqueline says,

"I am a game for 2 or more players. The game is lots of fun and involves sticks. You have to take turns and remove the sticks carefully. It gets harder the more turns you have and the less sticks there are to choose from. It is important not to let the marbles fall."
