Spirituality Day!

During our Spirituality day we looked at stories from the Bible in which things were built based on instructions for God. We had a go at giving instructions to our friends, verbal only, for them to make something out of Lego. We also wrote some great Lego prayers that will be displayed in school.

Zoo 2 U

In Fir Class, we had a very exciting visit from Zoo 2 U. We learnt a lot of facts about a variety of animals such as a stick insect, blue tongue skink, hognose snake, tenrec and a laughing kookaburra. We even got to stroke some of these amazing creatures!
