Science

We have been having lots of fun in our science lessons! Check it out! We are learning about solids, liquids and gases and called this topic 'Oh what a state!' As part of our lesson we had fun investigating different items to find out which category the belong to...you could say we got a little bit messy!

It was super fun to explore and we made some great discoveries...take a look

English

We are having so much fun! Pugs of the Frozen North is fantastic! We have been getting to know the character Shen and how much he cares for his 66 pugs! Yes 66 pugs!

Have a look at some of our drama lessons, we created tableuxs to show our understanding of the events in the book.
