FIREWOOD WORKING BEE
We’re having a working bee in preparation for our next fundraiser, the Firewood Raffle.
We’d really appreciate some help with this one. We have enough people on chainsaws; so we need manpower to shift and pile up wood for a trailer load.
The working bee will be THIS SUNDAY at 10am and the weather forecast is looking beautiful.
If you’re keen and able to help, reply to this post or let one of the teachers know and we’ll let you know where to be ✌️

Thank you so much Cargill Enterprises for their donation of wood for our carpentry table. Children have loved create all sorts of things with this opened resource.
Our children have also been using their inquisitive minds investigating a range of small tools. If you have any redundant tools/equipment around home that would be suitable for young children to explore we would love to add to our selection for children to experiment with.

Thank you to Bendigo Valley Trust for the generous donation. Allowing us to replace our sandpit cover and buy wet weather clothing for our children.
