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.

Fire Service Visit Y2!

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!

Science - Growth and needs

We were so excited to watch eight chicks hatch and are now learning how to look after them.
