Yesterday William's kinder class went on a walking trip to the local Postoffice and Bakery. His teacher Kate had rang me a few weeks earlier asking if I could do parent help which of course I said no problems, as I knew she wanted me to come along with my camera and be the photographer for the trip!
So once the kiddies had eaten some fruit they rugged up in hats, coats and gloves and lined up in pairs and took off on their adventure!
The walked down the hill and the first stop was the Post Office where they each were given a letter in which they had written their name on and inside was a message written but their teacher. Each of the children paid their 60 cents and got a stamp and with a little help attached it to their envelop. Once they all had attached a stamp they then posted their letter in a mail box outside!
Next item on the agenda was a trip inside the bakery where they met Tony the baker! Tony was great and showed the kids how they make bread and told us how early he gets up each morning to bake the bread so we can have it fresh for our breakfast!
The kids were then showed how they make biscuits using a machine to roll out the dough and then Tony cut a ginger bread man out.
Next the bakers iced a cupcake and each of the children got to chose a decoration for a cupcake, the kids thought that this was great and once they had their photo taken they had to put it in a bag and carry it up the hill where they stopped half way and sat and had their morning tea.
It was a great day, and even though it was cold I think by the time we got back to school we were a little warmer, thanks to some great warm ovens in the bakery!

isn't it fun doing parent help! I can't wait to do more of it when Kobe is at school. Looks like a fun morning.
Parent help is so much fun Lisa. We were even rewarded with a lovely cupcake, which may I add the Trevallyn bakery do really well!
