24.01.2022 YEAR 6 CAMP - DAY 2 (continued) After our second round of activities, we got to hang out, play some sport and feed the animals. Dinner was awesome, a feast of sausages, chicken patties, potato bake and salad, followed by ice cream and jelly . After the dishes were done, we cooked marshmallows around our fires and did a bit of possum spotting.

24.01.2022 This week Room 4 have buddied up with the Kindy kids, working with Kindy 1 on Tuesday and Kindy 2 today. They have been teaching their little buddies all about Ozobots, small robots that can follow coloured lines and do crazy moves just by reading 'code' created by using different colours .

21.01.2022 YEAR 6 CAMP - DAY 3 Another awesome bbq breakfast, and today we got to choose from beanie making, whittling (carving wood), feeding the animals, building cubbies and just hanging out with our mates. Some of the boys made home made lemonade with fresh lemons from the trees, which they served at 'the bar'. Hot dogs for lunch, followed by the Donnelly River Scavenger Hunt. Our last activity for the afternoon was a bush walk to the King Karri tree. Now we're practicing for tonight's talent show, which is happening straight after dinner (chicken tortillas) .

21.01.2022 Today was Reward day, and our winning faction for the term was RED. Some other students also purchased the reward through the Vivo shop, so we had a big crowd, great weather and loads of happy faces

20.01.2022 Last chance to order!!! Our year 5 students will be hosting a sausage sizzle this Wednesday 26th August to raise much needed funds for their camp to Rottnest Island in 2021.

The cut-off date is by 3pm TODAY (Monday 24th August) - NO LATE ORDERS WILL BE ACCEPTED.

20.01.2022 YEAR 6 CAMP - DAY 3 (continued) After our big bush walk we got the main firepit cranked right up for tonight with some big logs (thanks Mrs Baxter for cutting them all up for us!), then had another feast (chicken tortillas), including Drumsticks for dessert . Tonight's activity was Donnelly's Got Talent, and we saw some great comedy acts, dancing, singing, acting and some hilarious impressions. We then got to play a few games of spotlight in the bush before bed!

20.01.2022 SCOOTER-THON!!!

19.01.2022 YEAR 6 CAMP - DAY 2 After a much needed sleep, we were served a delicious bacon and egg bbq breakfast. Mr Mac then gave Mrs Baxter a lesson on how to use a chainsaw, and she cut a heap of wood for our outside fires! Our activities today were making beanies, dreamcatcher/wall hangings, baking, damper and flying fox (rotating through two stations today). We had a great day, the weather was mostly kind to us, and we are looking forward to tonight's bbq dinner followed by marshmallows and stories around the fire pits .

18.01.2022 YEAR 6 CAMP - DAY 5 Today we said goodbye to Donnelly River... a finally yummy breakfast, then we did a big tidy up and packed our bags ready for the trip home, via the Manjimup Timber Park. No rain today, so we got to spend two hours exploring and playing, and we even got Chicken Treat for lunch! It's been a great camp, even the rain the first few days couldn't spoil our fun. Parents and carers, we aim to be back at school by 3pm with loads of wet and dirty washing for you to do .

We arrived at Donnelly River just after 11am, and have spent the day setting up our rooms, getting the inside fires going, and then playing games (in between the rain!). The animals are super friendly, and we are looking forward to a nice dry day (hopefully) tomorrow for our activities. Tonight we have a spag bol for dinner, and a quiz night .
