Camp

Can you believe it? We will be on camp in just a few days time!  We can’t wait!

Here’s a list of things to remember to bring.

What to wear:
You’ll need to wear long pants and sturdy runners on the first day because we will be going for a long walk before we even get to the camp. 

What to bring on the bus:
Small backpack with:
  • snack
  • water bottle 
Everything else will be going in Mr I's trailer, you won’t be able to bring items on the bus.

What to pack:
As space is very limited, please don’t bring a suitcase. Suitcases take up lots of room that we don’t have in the trailer. Bags take up less room than a case.  Please make sure that if you are bringing a pillow, or doona that it is put in a bag so it wont get dirty in the trailer, there will not be very much room in the car to transport luggage.
  • Sleeping bag or sheets and doona
  • Pillowcase
  • Towel
  • Underwear and socks (1 pair for each day plus one spare)
  • Pyjamas or nightie
  • Jumpers / Windcheaters
  • Jeans / Shorts / Tracksuit
  • Indoor shoes (runners, sneakers, or slippers)
  • Outdoor shoes (runners, walking boots or shoes)
  • Toiletries (including insect repellent, sunscreen, toothbrush, toothpaste, etc)
  • Torch (a small torch is sufficient)
  • Waterproof jacket or coat
  • At least one complete change of clothes is needed
  • Please name your items


What NOT to bring:
  • thongs or sandals
  • mp3s, iPods, etc
  • mobile phones
  • singlets or strappy tops

If you bring a camera it is your responsibility to look after it.



Looking forward to a fun camp

Mrs I & Miss B!

Bullet's Dream


Bullet has decided that he wants to leave his classroom cage behind and live his dreams.  You are a boat designer and builder. Bullet has has asked you to build him a boat (or a raft) that can carry him across the sea!

Your boat must be able to safely carry his weight, and needs to be sturdy enough so it won’t easily tip over. Your boat will be made at school using materials you bring from home, as well as materials that will be provided for you here at school.

Please bring to school next week items from home that you would like to use to create and build your water vessel. If you have some spare items, it would be great if you could bring them along too for those who don’t have enough items, or have forgotten!

*Bullet will not be involved in the testing of our water vessels, and will not be placed on any water vessel in the water. We will use an item of similar size and weight to Bullet to test our vessels.


We measured and weighed Bullet.

He is about 27 cm long when he stretches out.
He is about 10cm wide.
He is about 8 cm high.
He weighs 860g.










If Bullet could speak, I wonder if he would say things like this...
