PARKING

Entrance is a gate/driveway on the left.

There isn’t much parking but you could probably fit a few cars in there.

The only spot we CAN’T park in, is right next to the ramp as that’s the rangers spot.

There is lots of parking on the street as well.

Kind regards

Book Week

The theme of book week this year is “Reading is Magic”. Come along and be involved. This activity is suitable for all ages from the youngest to the oldest of our homeschoolers. Below is a list of some of the activities to help get you excited. Prizes will be awarded for some of these activities; these will be by age group and include a teenager’s and parent’s category.

Dress Up – have a think about what character from a book you will dress up as and get creative! Don’t forget to bring the book with you!
Write or draw (as age appropriate) about your favourite character from a book (templates provided here https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/0b9Y6XtoAjdmEuOELn4LU7fCg#Bookweek).
For those who are fantastical illustrators, draw a map based on the theme “Reading is Magic”.
Food is a magical part of many books. Bring a plate to share of a magical food, this may be something from the shops like Turkish delight (Narnia) or if you are a whiz in the kitchen and want to win a prize create something to bring on the day.

On the day we’ll be talking about books, reading some of the shortlisted picture books and eating some food together (and drinking nice coffee for the adults). We’ll have some craft activities for those who want to participate and free play as well. A selection of fantastical board games will also be available to play.

Book week will be held at Good Shepherd Anglican Church Curtin from 10.30 to 1pm with prize presentation at 11.30. The car park is accessed from Gillies Street.
