We loved receiving a special delivery this week. It was a basket full of food... and a beautiful new book for us to read...The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch. We enjoyed making predictions and bringing the story to life in our Story Whoosh style.

There has been a break in!!!!!

Date: 18th Apr 2023 @ 3:58pm

There has been an intruder in Year 2! We have had very suspicious activity within our classrooms and learning areas this week. We used our inference skills to work out what had happened and who it could have possibly been breaking into our school over the holidays. CCTV has shown us that a cheeky mouse and his robot friend have left tools, design sheets and foot prints all over over classrooms.

We then created our own design just like the inventor who raided our classrooms!
