Kauri Syndicate Games and Pastimes Visit

Dear Parents/Caregivers

Games and Pastimes Over the Last 150 Years – Kauri Trip

This term, we are learning about and celebrating Hamilton’s 150^th Birthday.  We are learning how the times have changed over the last 150 years.  One aspect of this, is studying the games and toys children played with.  We have the opportunity to experience a hands-on session with the support of the Te Awamutu Museum - playing games from 150 years ago.  The facilitator from the museum will meet with us at the Fairfield Community House.  Weather permitting, we will walk to the Community House, in Sare Crescent.  We will arrange for cars to transport us there also, in case of wet weather.

When: Wednesday 28th May 2014

Venue: Fairfield Community House, 60A Sare Crescent, Fairfield
Times:  Each class will have their own session with the Museum Facilitator:
Session 1.  - Room 6:    9.15am-10.30am
