Children from Bumper Bears Early Learning Centre and Kippa-Ring Kindergarten and Preschool were among the special guests at Kippa-Ring State School’s Under 8’s Day.
Learning support teacher Jayne Shannon says residents from nearby Beaumont Care were also included in the celebrations.
This year’s theme of Children Celebrating Outdoor Play and Learning shone through, with pupils from the school and visitors feeding farm animals, trying their hand at painting pet rocks, having their faces painted COVID-style by senior students and dressing up to have their picture taken in the photo booth.
