Rest in Peace Bubbles

Goodbye Bubbles, you were such a friendly, trusting mouse. We will miss you.


Our Place, Our School

This term we are getting to know our school environment and the people and other living things who share it. We went up to Nature's Way to sketch the noisy insects that live in our school grounds. Male cicadas make a loud clicking noise by vibrating the membranes on their abdomens.  We can hear them from our classroom.











Here are some of our sketches.
