Classroom Crafts
On the Friday before Ag Day, all students participate in a craft-making day.
Students make their way around the classrooms and complete all the crafts.
These crafts are judged by staff and displayed in classrooms for families to view on Ag Day.
Students may receive a certificate for their activity.
Blue - Great quality and creativity
Gold - For exceptionally high quality or creativity
These awards go towards the overall craft day champ
Parents are welcome to come and be parent helpers - A notice will go home prior to the day
Parents will be asked to help in a set classroom/activity. This is so that there is enough help in each class to get through all the activities.
We ask parents not to follow their children around, but to assist all students
All creations are to be made at school on Friday, not at home.
The focus is for kids to enjoy the making process themselves, and the more they do themselves, the better for the fairness of judging.
Below is the timetable.
Session 1 - 9:00 - 9:45
