Our First Day in Primary 3!
More Rainforest animals
We have been very busy in Priamry 3! After we made our presentations on rainforest animals we decided to make some models of them. We brought in lots of junk as part of our homework so we could make the animals. We worked in our cooperative learning groups to decide how we would make the models, some groups made a big model and others made smaller puppets. We also decided if we should make 1 model between us or 4 models so we all had one each. We were so busy today painting, cutting and sticking! Hopefully our models will be all dry tomorrow and we can show them off.
Here is some pictures of us all hard at work
Awesome outdoor day!
Yesterday was outdoor day for Health week. We got to go outside and do lots of fun games and activities at the outdoor committees stalls.
