What a busy week!


The children have had sooo much fun learning about Australia.


They have sung some Australian songs, heard an Australian Folk Tale, found out what Boomerangs were made for and designed their own, learnt what some Aboriginal signs mean, made their own hats, practiced using Aboriginal art techniques and learnt how to play cricket!

We also learnt an Aboriginal dance from a porfessional dancer.



Thank you to all those who turned up to our picnic, we hope you enjoyed our singing and dancing.


Here are some pictures of us during the week.

















Next week we are going to be learning about 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. The children are going to make up their own versions of the story and find out some interesting facts about caterpillars and butterflies.


In maths we are going to be sorting the food from the story, counting in 2's, 5's and 10's and making our own symmetrical butterfly pictures.


We hope you have a lovely long weekend.
