What a busy week of learning!

In literacy we were learning about connectives. These are special words that join two sentences together. In numeracy we have been learning about place value. We think we understand some parts of  place value and we would like to try to count that high in French.  We learned about Roman mosaics and made some of our own. In health, we were talking about what makes a good team player.

Have a wonderful and relaxing holiday!

We were very lucky to get a special visitor on Monday! Amanda came in and told us the story of The Good Samaritan. It was a great story and we all enjoyed getting dressed up  to help tell the story.
