🤴🏻 I found the King of Cannon Hill!

Under 8’s Day at Cannon Hill State School was packed with fun activities, from craft and outdoor play to pretending to be patients in the ambulance and sitting in the police car drivers seat. 🚨

My personal favourite was the Army display, where the kids had their face painted, grabbed a walkie-talkie and explored an incredible exhibit put together by our local Army Reserves. 🪖📻

A massive thank you to our local teachers. You’re always going above and beyond to create memorable experiences for our local kids. ❤️❤️
