Our Life Cycle of a Frog projects

The season of spring is here and we have been learning about new life in plants and animals. We did projects on the Life Cycle of a Frog and watched some really gross videos of frogs and tadpoles!!!!

We made a display for the corridor outside our classroom.

International Children’s Day


We celebrated International Children’s Day on the 20th of November. We learned about children all around the world who might be living a different life to ours and the United Nation’s list of children’s rights to ensure that all children are living a good life and have what they need. 

Our Crunchy Critters

We went on a nature walk to gather leaves, then we had to identify what tree they came from and let them dry out before we could use them to make our pictures.

The Twits

Ms. Harris read The Twits by Roald Dahl to us and we loved it. We made posters about our favourite part of the novel and 2nd class took Accelerated Reader tests on it to help them reach their target
