The Grade 1s spend the day at Honeydew Mazes

Head west to Honeydew Mazes!

That is all we heard before a bus filled with excited Grade 1s left school. Learners burst into song, they could not contain their excitement. For many, it was their first time being inside a bus. It was an hour's drive before we safely arrived in Honeydew.

After being welcomed warmly by the host , Peter, learners were divided into groups of 6. Our friendly facilitators, Forbes, Irvin, Craven, Cravel and Ropa led us to the picnic area where we were briefed on task and rules of the giant elemental maze. We were supposed to find different squeaky animals which were red, white and orange. Some of these "little" toys were hidden in secret gardens that were challenging to navigate, but getting lost in the giant maze was half the fun. A squeaky sound could be heard from the first animal discovered, soon the squeaky noises filled the whole maze as teams found more and more animals hidden all over the maze.

At the end of the day everyone was a winner and an ice cream treat was enjoyed by all at the picnic area. We would like to thank all parents for making this a dream come true. We had a chance to explore, extend and enrich our learning in a non school set up.
