In Kathy/Siobhán’s 3rd class we have been learning all about Electricity. We really enjoyed wiring circuits and light bulbs this week! Siobhán & Kathy

Third class enjoyed a comic book workshop today with Kate. We made original characters and then used them to make a four panel comic, including speech and thought bubbles and backgrounds. Some of us choose to expand our four panel comic and others choose to play a drawing game. We had a great time. Kathy & Siobhán

Lisa's 2nd class are learning about Africa this month. We made African tribal masks and Kanga designs as part of our art lessons. The children worked hard on unique and creative patterns.
