PERIA SCHOOL PET DAY
WHAT A GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Peria School’s annual Pet Day was a great success with it being a beautiful day along with a great turnout of parents and community members.
The classrooms looked outstanding with displays of miniature gardens, monster masks, baking, clay work, vegetable animals and crazy hats to name a few.
There was a great turnout and variety of animals on show ranging from horses, lambs, calves pigs, rabbits, spider, rabbits, turtle and ducks. The judging was followed by some hilarious races including 3 legged, potato and spoon , sack races and Tug of War that all proved to be very entertaining. Finally as a school fundraiser a “Buckets Up” raffle was held which proved very popular. A special thank you to the Peria A & P Association for their generous support along with the ANZ Bank.

Hobbies; Yu Gi O cards are the mad craze at the moment with students proudly displaying their collections of rare and the most powerful cards. Lego still remains a firm favorite with megablocks a close second.
Miniature Gardens (Fantasy Theme); a massive range of fantasy gardens ranging from Lego landscapes to Alien Spaceships and Unicorn Forests.
Baking; a huge range of some stunning baking all made by our students with no or limited assistance from parents.
Clay Pots; A special range of coil pots made at school and fired in the school sawdust kiln, a great experience and superb learning.
Opinion Heads; Paper mache heads carefully constructed with an eye to developing facial detail in sculpting using paper media. This was combined in a cross curricula theme incorporating opinion writing on a range of subjects from “why children need their own rooms” , “lollies are good for you” to whether “dinosaurs should be brought back to life” a no brainer as far as most of my boys are concerned!
