Making music!

Today we made music with Mrs Beckers. We used buckets and chopsticks. It was tricky because we had to listen to the beat so we knew how fast or slow to go. 

Thank you Mrs Beckers! 

Super Learners!

These lovely learners got certificates in Junior Assembly today. We are all very proud of them! 

A Big Adventure

Today these learners went on an adventure to look at the building going on around our school. They needed to wear bright coloured jackets so everybody could see them! We can't wait to hear about what they saw when they get back.

Succulents and Cacti

At the nursery on Friday we all saw succullents and a cactus. We saw that they have thick leaves that sometimes have prickles. Succulents have thick leaves so that they can store water up to drink. This means they are good plants for the desert becasue they don't need much water.

Look at this cool way of making a succulent garden...
