Generations of wisdom was passed on at Tooradin Primary school last week as grandparents were celebrated at the school during Book Week 2017.
Grandparents and friends of students were welcomed to the school on Thursday 17 August to participate in book week activities including quizzes, a paper plane challenge and sharing in favourite stories.
Tooradin Primary School student wellbeing co-ordinator Rachel Davis said students had been looking forward to the event all year.
“The children were very pleased to be able to share how much they have been learning this year, show off their terrific work that was on display and provide their grandparents with a warm cup of homemade pumpkin soup on a cold winter’s day,” she said.
“Thank you to all our wonderful grandparents and friends who came to school, and we hope they enjoyed the morning as much as we did.”
Star News photographer Stewart Chambers popped in to the school to share in some of the magic of Grandparent’s Day.
