Cookery Lessons

Ten students from Years 4, 5 and 6 today enjoyed some cookery lessons with Chef Remy at the Lighthouse Restaurant. They helped to create a tasty lunch of chicken quesadillas followed by chocolate pecan pie. Delicious! Many thanks to Remy and everyone at the Lighthouse.

North Side Heritage Day

The whole school travelled to Kaibo to see the Heritage Day activities. Here's what Jevhone wrote:

"Yesterday I went to Heritage Day. I was so excited that I got to go there! First I went on the bouncing castle. It was great fun, but the castle deflated two times. That was because too many people were on it. It was funny.

After that I went to get a snow cone and we took lots of pictures. The field trip was as silly as a circus, and it was very good fun because other Primary schools were there."

Jessica wrote: "North Side Heritage was awesome and I had a fantastic time. I looked at the different arts they had such as thatch hats and jewellery. They had some of the cutest earrings and necklaces. I went on the bouncing castle. Later that night the fireworks were beautiful."

Year 6 expressing their hopes for Cayman through art.

Performance

Our children performed in the 'folk choir' section of the National Children's Festival of the Arts - and were selected to perform at the final concert. They are singing "Millie". Well done to all!

On Our Way Home

We are just packing ready to get the plane back to Cayman this afternoon - we have had such a busy and interesting week! We have missed our classmates who were unable to join us - see you soon! Here is a photo of our whole class team - we look forward to putting all our learning together for our showcase in June - look out for details to come!

Day 5...A Trek Through the Park

Well, today was our last day at the Boyd Hill Nature Park with Mr George and we spent the whole morning walking from one side of the Park to the other...looking around us every step of the way to see what we could see. We also learned about how we could help to preserve the environment for the future - to ensure that there is still a habitat for all these wonderful reptiles, amphibians, birds and animals in the years to come. We looked at some of the invasive plants that take over the habitat and prevent the native plants from growing. Without the native plants, the creatures that rely on them for food will not survive. There are many volunteers in the park who will spend time helping to cut back on these invasive species. It is also necessary to clear up litter and other pollutants that affect the water, the plants and therefore the animals. There are many things that we can teach others about to care for nature while still enjoying the things we like doing. All the plants and animals in a habitat rely on each other for survival - if we allow any of them to decline then we affect the whole system. So - we hope that we can educate others when we return to Cayman...look out for our messages in the weeks to come!
