The Wonderful Under 8’s Day

By Isabelle Driscoll

On Tuesday, 16 May, our Prep to Year 3 students, as well as many younger siblings and community members, gathered in the name of fun, celebrating Peachester State School’s fabulous 2023 Under 8’s Celebrations. This year the theme was “Play: You, Me and the Community.” It seemed to be a wonderful experience for the enthusiastic children. There were thirteen different activities for the kids, all prepared by senior students and staff members.

Skylah and Charlotte, Year 1, both agreed that they enjoyed playing together the most. Prep student, Piper, thoroughly enjoyed the weaving activity, making a colourful wall hanging to take home to her family.

Ms Kunde, Music teacher, said “It is an opportunity for multiple different age groups to come together and play.”

Sunny from Grade 1 said she enjoyed drawing with chalk on a chalk board, while Prep student Jackson said he enjoyed playing and having fun, and his friend Millie, building with the puzzle blocks.

The wet weather didn’t dampen the spirits of the children, with music and laughter flowing throughout the school, students dancing on stage, enjoying their cooking, painting their masterpieces, learning yoga moves and swapping from each activity with delight.  It was a truly fabulous morning for all the children and adults that attended the celebration.
