The children have had a fabulous day learning all about Australia. We have read a story about Koala bears this morning and this afternoon completed some beautiful pieces of Aboriginal Art. A great start to the week - well done Reception!

We really enjoyed our Chinese New Year lunch today. We explored new tastes and all opened our fortune cookies.

Class 2 are becoming coding champions. Today’s challenge was to make 3 sprites play different sounds, move or change costumes and change the backdrop! Quite a challenge! The children chose their own challenge level based on how confident they felt. Great leaders of your learning class 2.
