Trip to the wetlands

Yesterday was part one of our collaboratively planned trip. 
First we decided what foods we do and do not like in order to make a packed lunch to take on our trip, then the next week our groups planned games which we would then teach to another group.

Thank you to our fantastic parent helpers. 

Before we left for the wetlands yesterday we had to put our planning into action and prepare our lunches. Mr Stuart and Mrs Parker did an amazing race style supermarket run to pick up the supplies in record time. 

We all had a hand in making sandwiches for our classmates. To make sure that we all got what we wanted, we filled in a lunch order, where we picked what veggies we wanted and if we wanted chicken or cheese. 
Meanwhile, Mrs Parker took groups into the staffroom to make our own delicious ANZAC biscuits. We used the original recipe which was first published in 1926 and you can find it here. 

Once we walked to the wetlands we began our first rotation of collaborative games. We found actually teaching the game to others was more challenging than playing the game ourselves, but we perservered and ended up having a great time. 

      



We finished the day off with a great big game of Tug of War. Boys vs. Girls. And guess what? The girls had a winning strategy and dragged the boys over the line to win! Hoorah!
