Children’s Week at Ardtornish Primary School
SRC Executive’s brainstorming ideas for Children’s Week – Gargee, Charli, Zara, Jasmine, Jess and Isabelle
Children’s Week is celebrated nationally and includes Universal Children’s Day, which falls on the fourth Wednesday in October. It’s a week to celebrate Children’s rights, talents and citizenship. This year’s theme is based on the Rights of the Child - Article 15 – Children have the right to choose their friends and connect safely with others. The SRC are hosting a range of activities for Children’s Week, starting on Monday November 1. A timetable of activities is included below and as you can see we will have a very busy week. On Monday there will be a pre-ordered, whole school sausage sizzle, with sausages being delivered directly to each class. During the week students can decorate their hand or arm with a temporary body art design (temporary tattoo), with a different age group invited each day to ease the flow of students. This will be held under the shelter by the canteen at each recess time. Year 4-7 students will have the chance to enter a raffle, and have their name drawn out, to play against the teachers and SRC Executives in a backyard cricket match on the primary oval, which will be played during lunch on Wednesday. We will finish the week with a casual clothes day and discos on Friday November 5. Students can dress in party clothes or their casual clothes for a gold coin donation during the day on Friday. At lunchtime on Friday we will host a F-1 disco in the school hall for a gold coin donation. After school we will host two discos, year 2 to 4 students from 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm in the school hall and year 5 to 7 students are invited to attend a youth group style disco in the school gym from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Students will need to be dropped off and collected by a parent or caregiver at the entrance of each event. More details can be found on Skoolbag. Each event can be paid for via Qkr! or cash payments on the day. We look forward to a fun Children’s Week and hope to see all students get involved. Mrs Natalie Hall, SRC Teacher Leader and Student Wellbeing Leader

Last term, Room 3A and 3B went to camp at Narnu Farm. We stayed for 3 days and 2 nights. We had the BEST time!
Narnu farm is located in Hindmarsh Island. It took us about 2 hours to get there. The bus ride on the way there was very noisy but on the way back it was very quiet as we were super tired.
There were 6 rooms with bunk beds and a Shearers Quarters which is a very nice place to sleep, it even had an indoor bathroom.
There were lots of things you could do like horse riding, ride on a Vintage truck, butter making, blacksmithing, holding the baby chicks and hand ploughing. The best part was feeding the animals including the babies. We had lots of food to eat and great weather! We were very grateful to the parent helpers who came along.
