Koura Farm Visit - Tuesday 19th September

Rooms 7 and 3 Koura Farm Visit

Tuesday 19 September 2017

As part of this term’s inquiry, “What’s it like to be a Fish?” Room 7, and “What’s it like to be a ______?” Room 3, we are biking to the Diver’s Koura Farm on Waldron Road. (This is halfway between Chicago Street and the road to the airport.) There is a $4 charge per child (adults free) for the tour of the farm. This covers a 45 minute lesson of the farm with live crayfish to study and other activities to follow this. The children will also see the crayfish in their natural environment. If you are interested in having a look their website is: www.sweetkoura.co.nz

We will have an early playtime at 10:30 and leave on our bikes at 11am, returning to school by 2:45pm.  All children will wear their school sports uniform and trainers. They will also need:

• a bike - now is the time to check that tyres, brakes etc are all in good order

• a well fitted helmet
• rain jacket
• gumboots to put on at the farm
• a good sized packed lunch
• water bottle
• sunscreen & a school sunhat

Hi Viz jackets will be provided.

To allow us to confirm this trip we need about 10 parent helpers who can bike with us. Mrs Stratford will drive an emergency vehicle. Please let your child’s teacher know as soon as possible if you are available to help on this day. No preschoolers on this trip please.

Looking forward to this learning experience.
