Good evening parents,
Next Thursday the 6th of August, the Year One children will be holding a Possum Magic party featuring all the food that Hush and Grandma Poss ate on their journey around Australia!
The children have loved reading Possum Magic over the last week and we have learnt about many of the Australian foods and cities that were included in the book.
The children and I would really appreciate if you were able to help bring our party to life by bringing in a selection of food from the book. This includes:
- Anzac Biscuits
- Minties and Tuna Mornay (maybe a tuna dip instead of a mornay)
- Steak and salad (could be roast beef and salad sandwiches?)
- Pumpkin scones (with butter or jam and cream)
- Vegemite sandwiches
- Mini pavlovas (or meringues)
...and the children will be making mini laminations on the day with Mrs. Keast!
A food roster will go out the front of the classroom tomorrow morning so please put your name down under one of the foods to indicate what you would like to bring. Please note, that we will only need a small plate of food as we have 32 gorgeous children in our class!
This will be a shared lunch so the children WILL NOT need lunch for that day. They will still need Sip and crunch and recess.
The children were very excited to have this celebration and I said that they were allowed to wear clothes that were similar colours to the ones in possum magic (grey, black and white) or even an Australiana shirt! Grandma Poss might even make an appearance!
We will be making possum magic masks so tails and whiskers for the day are encouraged!
If you have any questions or queries please don't hesitate to email me.
Miss Prowse
