We also reached for the skies with our beautiful shooting stars, inspired by the story How to Catch a Star by our favourite author, Oliver Jeff

This week in class, we have been busy exploring 3D shapes, learning their names, faces, edges, and corners. The children especially enjoyed spotting 3D shapes in the world around them. Today was the highlight of the week as we got hands-on and made our own cubes. There was lots of careful discussion, teamwork, and a little bit of excitement at the final result! They turned out great!
