Farmers' Market: 7 November

The arrival of the Farmers' market always makes us excited, but also a little sad as we know our grade 4 farming journey is coming to an end. But once the day arrives, the joy of watching our special children sell and buy and smile all morning makes it a day to remember.

We could not have done this without our parents' support and enthusiasm and hard work. Cakes, raffles, sheep, chickens, rabbits, vegetables, eggs, you name it, it was on sale. We even had Cabbage and spinach from our own farmlands.

What a great way to end the year. Thank you, farmers. The funds raised will go back into our farmlands and help next years Grade 4s experience the joy of being a Grade 4 farmer.

Trip to Roselands: 20 - 22 October

Visiting Roselands is like visiting our other home. Aunty Louise and Gaylene cook like gourmet chefs, and our tummies were constantly full and happy. We arrived in muddy rain but that was soon forgotten as we met Byron the snake guy. With venomous and non-venomous snakes to show us, we were taught many valuable lessons. The most important thing is to respect snakes of any kind. We met a real bushman, who showed us many of the traditional tools of a hunter, and we heard all the stories of his youth. What a privilege to meet him.

In between this, we got covered in mud, learnt to work in a team and how to communicate well with each other. Fun activities and games had us laughing out loud. The highlight had to be our time at the dam - ziplining, paddling, and high jump were the winning activities. Secret snack in the dorm at bedtime and night walks using our torches added to the memories made.

Thank you, Roselands, for taking care of us, we really loved our time there!
