Towards the end of term two, the school decided with no Leeton Show happening in 2020, it would still give students a small taste of what is usually a calendar-regular in town.
The school's kindergarten to year two students recently enjoyed their "Parkview show" term three reward day, which brought elements of a day at the show to their classroom and playground.
There was plenty of action happening at the sideshow alley events from balloon darts to duck fishing and ball toss to juggling, ensuring laughter echoed throughout the playground.
Teacher Lacey Chilko said the idea came up when the show in Leeton was cancelled.
"It's been great to celebrate the first full term of school this year with a unique experience," she said.
"It is really important to provide these moments of joy and build positive memories for our students, especially considering the year we have had."

Participating students also donated a gold coin with all proceeds going to the Leeton Show Society.
The show art section incorporated vegetable sculptures and flower plates with prizes being donated by the Leeton Show Society.
"The event was a huge success, with the biggest hit being the fairy floss," Mrs Chilko said.
Parkview Public has thanked the Leeton Show Society, those businesses in town who donated vegetables and Leeton High School for providing some helpers on the day.
