Art Mirrors Life - Our Trip to The Art Gallery of South Australia

Next week Thursday students will be visiting the Art Gallery of South Australia. This will be a big adventure as we plan to walk into town! After arriving, the students will split into two groups and walk through the art gallery to observe pictures about family groups. Students will require a small snack in a zip lock bag (NO lunch boxes please!) and a throw away drink ie: fruit box.
To complete the adventure we will be heading back to school using public transport.
To make this trip a success we require the help of lots of mums and dads (with some small change for the trip back on the bus!). Due to the fact that we will walk beside North Terrace we will require at least one adult hand for each child. Thank you so much to those of you who have who have already returned your slip and are willing to help. It is important to note that we cannot take younger siblings with us on the trip or prams. Due to the amount of walking involved we suggest flat comfortable shoes.
We suspect that after this trip students will be very tired and so if you are coming to help and would like to take your full day child after the trip has finished please let your child's teacher know.
We have been in contact with the public transport agency who assure us they will be prepared for us on our return journey so now all we have to hope for is blue skies! We are currently working on a contingency plan in case of rain.
Kind Regards
Mel Bishop and Pip Cooper
