Grade 3/4 were rewarded for a term of hard work and good behaviour with a Mad Hatter’s tea party: they decorated the classroom (don’t look Health and Safety Officer) and designed a crazy teapot, made crazy hats, watched Alice and Wonderland, ate lots of party food (thank-you parents) with cordial poured from a giant teapot. A quiz and party games, then blowing bubbles outside, or a game of Uno ended the day!!!
