Our one kept falling down as well, we had a couple of issues with spiders in it! We had a bedroom and 10 acorns for his breakfast, lunch and dinner. – Zara
We made a timetable for our class so we know everything that is going on in our week and we can keep track instead of asking Miss McKinnon all the time! – Lola
We made pictures of Plop peaking out of a tree and I drew a light shining on him so when it gets dark he won’t be scared! – Zara
In PE we were doing some team building in our houses. We had to get the bean bags from the middle and after Miss McKinnon blew the whistle we had to steal the bean bags from the other teams! – Lola & Zara
Before the holidays we made perspective art for our door, I think it looks beautiful! – Lola
Jo Shennan (Jesse’s mum) brought her college art students to our school to help us with making our mural for our sheds outside. We got to draw our ideas down of what we liked and the college students will put some ideas together and when we go visit them soon we will see them. We both loved it and we can’t wait to see them again and their ideas. – Lola & Zara
In groups we were mapping out Camp Greenlake from ‘Holes’. We also added keys to tell what picture is what. – Lola
