Parents’ we need your help!
Over the course of this week (and most likely the next) we will be building bug costumes in the lead up to our very exciting bug performance. With that in mind, we are hoping you could help us out. As you will see below, we are looking for a range of materials. If you happen to have any bits and pieces lying around please bring them in.
P.S Any items that are highlighted in bold are ones we need most. Thanking you!
