Amazing progress....
Wow! In just ten weeks, these children have worked so hard to improve their handwriting - well done!
Wildlife fun!
We have a great time in the wildlife area during Golden Time...
Hands on learning!
We had a few creepy visitors to class today. The children loved it and learned lots of new facts. Thank you Zoolab!
Castles
