What happens if it rains
We get wet and go WILD! Whose child doesn’t love jumping in puddles and making mud pies? If it is raining, dress your child appropriate wet weather clothing (and don’t forget a change of clothes.) We will cancel in extreme weather, and you will be notified in the morning. “There is no bad weather, only bad clothing”
What do we need to bring and wear?
It’s compulsory for the children to wear closed-toe shoes or gumboots, no thongs or sandals please for Bush Kindy. Please dress for the weather of the day. Please bring a hat, shirt with sleeves, sunscreen/insect repellent or wet weather gear. Please pack morning tea for your child, ideally nude food and of course a reusable water bottle!
