We have been learning about our 5 Senses and last week we were exploring our Sense of Sound. We worked with our talk partners and used recyclable materials to create our own musical instruments. See if you can make an instrument at home and bring it into school with you when we return.

 

RME – As part of our learning in class we have been learning about Bible Stories. Do you have a bible at home? If you do read a story from the Bible.
