Mental Health Awareness Week
This year’s theme is – Let’s Connect
We learnt about how we connect with each other and how it is important for our mental health and well-being to spend time and connect with our families and friends.
We made paper chains as a class to share how we connect with different people we spend time with.
Painting afternoon
This afternoon we have been painting!
We have been inspired by the artwork of Edvard Munch.
Spag Monsters
This week your children will bring home a log in for SPAG MONSTERS.
We are trialling this, so would be great to know what you think.
The children were excited when I showed them today. It will help them with spellings, grammar and punctuation.

Mayan Calendar
This week the children collaborated to make a Mayan Calendar. They voted on which image to use to help them replicate it. They chose the harder one, but they did a great job at using clay to make their own version.
