Our children were able to experience the fun of a gala with our gala games and prize table, sausage sizzle, ice blocks and drinks, and could purchase some fun fill-a-jars!

We made the sad decision to cancel our Twilight Gala in the lead up to lockdown and put on a special mini Gala for all our Sherwood Primary classrooms instead. Each year group was given a time slot to have a go at our gala games after a yummy sausage sizzle lunch with sausages donated by New World Browns Bay.

We had a chocolate table, badge making, our fill-a-jars, hook-a-duck, nerf gun target range, a big dig in the sandpit, fish pong, a lollipop tree, and tin can throw. Most children won a small lolly prize for competing, and the lucky ones won a silver or gold prize from our Prize Table manned by Mrs Catchpole!

The tin can throw major prize, drawn by raffle ticket, was a Bakugan set awarded to Cameron Cox from Rata E and a Bracelet Crafting station awarded to Annie Su from Pōhutukawa S. Congratulations!

Thank you to all our school families who made up a fantastic selection of jars, and donated items for the chocolate table and prizes. And a big Thanks to all our parent helpers that made our mini Gala run smoothly. While we were all disappointed we were not able to go ahead with our big event, I know our children had a lot of fun and we are prepared for next year!
