Stage 1 Newcastle ExcursionStage 1 Newcastle Excursion

On Tuesday 27 August Stage 1 eagerly boarded the buses setfor Newcastle to explore the Newcastle Museum and watch‘Possum Magic’ at the Civic Theatre. First stop was a quickplay and recess at Stockton Park. Shortly after we took onthe high seas of Newcastle Harbour on the Stockton Ferryto Newcastle and glided through the CBD on the light rail toreach the Museum. At the Museum we enjoyed lots of handson fun! We then explored Honeysuckle and took a break toeat our lunch. All were then looking forward to sitting backand watching Possum Magic; a well-earned break after a hugemorning. Students had a great day and learnt lots to take backto the classroom. A huge thank you to the parent helpers, wewouldn’t have been able to do it without you. Also a big thankyou to teachers for the organisation of the day.
