It was great to return to the classroom after several weeks of lockdown. Well done all for engaging so well with online learning! We have been very busy since our return.
We have just completed our 3rd class novel, The Secret Garden, and written our book report and are now starting to read Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo.
We have been learning all about how our bodies work in Science and love the resources and activities available on www.kidshealth.com.
In Art we painted Easter bunnies before the Easter Break and have been practicing our observational drawing skills since our return.
We are learning about the Industrial Revolution in History and have completed mini projects on inventions of Industrial Revolution.
We are enjoying continuing to use teams and websites like www.quizziz.com as online learning tools for homework.
We are also learning about climate and climate change and participated in a PRIMARY SCHOOLS LIVESTREAM EVENT for Earth Day 2021: Cool Fossils & Hot (Climate) Facts- on Thursday 22 April 2021
We had a visit from Laurence the Lamb on Wednesday, who joined in all our classroom activities. Thanks to the Brophy family for allowing him to visit us.
