Mrs Smith’s class also visited Deer Park this week to take part in a photography workshop. The weather wasn’t so kind to them but they still had a great time!
On Tuesday, the Year 5 children all went to a photography workshop at Deer Park. They had a great time. Miss Cliff’s bubble probably had the best deal with the sunny weather, but Mrs Smith’s bubble also really enjoyed themselves and we are looking forward to seeing the photography that the children produce.
Bronte enjoyed her Art Project yesterday and even got her brother Fraser to help.
We hear that she has worked very hard this week and done some lessons in advance so that she can give herself a day off on her birthday!
This looks great Bronte – well done and have a very Happy Birthday!
Due to COVID-19 regulations, we can’t sing in groups in the classroom.
However, the Base 1 Bubble have been learning to sign.
We think it is really lovely and hope you enjoy it too!
We wish you a Merry Christmas!

Last week in DT, Base 2 learned a variety of new skills in woodwork and made mechanical toys from wood.
During the lesson, children learned to use woodworking tools safely and correctly with the help of the staff in the room.
They learned to measure, mark and check the accuracy of the jelutong and dowel pieces that they needed to cut and also to use a bench hook effectively and safely.
Children learned that saws have sharp teeth and can be dangerous if not used properly.
