Yr 3-6 enjoyed their time in Sydney last Wednesday. Here is what some of the class

had to say:

Jaydon: It was a really long drive to Sydney and while

we drove we saw fast cars and on the bus we watched

The Tooth Fairy. It was fun when we went in Willy

Wonka’s factory.

Dinal: The show was great. We crossed Sydney Har-

bour Bridge and everyone was amazed of Sydney Har-

bour Bridge.

Toby: I really liked when the Oompa Loompas came

out because their costumes are so cool.

Divonne: It was exciting to go over the Sydney Har-

bour Bridge.

talking on the bus.
