“He writes stuff down for me and he has good writing,” said Ms Ryan.

“I play with him and I’m going to do a concert for him with the balloon song that has all the sounds,” Ruby Ryan said.

Doug Cullen, poppy of Ruby and Lucy Ryan said he was made an offer he couldn’t refuse.

“The little one rang me up and said she was now at big school and asked if I wanted to go to grandparents day,” said Mr Cullen.

“It really is a great idea because it gives you an idea of what’s going in and keeps you a bit young,” he smiled.

“We came from Bateau Bay by train and we’ll spend the weekend with the grand kids now,” Doug Cullen said.

Jackson Birch was another kindergarten student who was lucky to have both sets of grandparents at school today.

For Janelle Birch it was her first time at grandparents day and she said the classroom had changed significantly since she was a student.

“It is interesting to see how they learn now, there is much more interaction,” said Ms Birch.

“This is my first grandson at school and it is lovely, I bring him to school every day, but it is nice to be able to spend some time in the classroom,” Janelle Birch said.

Gail Donnelly, Jackson’s other grandmother drove more than 1,500 kilometres from Mackay and said they were pleased to be here for grandparents day.

“When I went to school there was only one classroom, which eventually grew to two class rooms for the whole school,” said Ms Connelly.

“We certainly didn’t have all of these colourful things on the wall and tablets and wonderful things,” she said.

“It is a totally different way of learning and it is great to see,” Gail Donnelly said.

Jackson Birch said he was happy he was able to play with his grandparents at school.

“I wrote a story about an old bag with a patch because it had a hole in it,” said Mr Birch.

“And next we will be singing at the concert,” Jackson Birch said.
