February kept us busy!


Let's look back at our third Unit of Inquiry - 'Where we are in Place and Time,
where we investigated types of homes and materials.

We invited Juan Carlos Herrera, an architect, to come and talk to us about his work.



He explained how to plan and design a house and showed us some of his ideas.
Thank you very much for coming to talk to us it was very interesting.

We constructed different types of houses with blocks and magnets. 




 We designed different types of houses, painted them and then decided what material we would need to build them.  Dizzy's house is  great.





 We had fun drawing houses for the 3 little pigs and presenting them to our friends with our partners.


 

Finally we created beautiful collages made of different types of paper and made a wall display for everybody to see them.  There was a lot of left over paper to be recycled and as we are very responsible we took it to the recycle container outside school.
 

 


Come back soon to see all the interesting work we are now doing on our 
fourth Unit of Inquiry - 'How we organize ourselves.'

Celebrating Peace Day


 We had a fun afternoon,  singing and dancing in our white T-shirts in the playground.


 Our favourite song is ' I've Got Peace Like a River.'
 

We designed a Peace Day poster and decided that peace should be celebrated everyday!



 
 Mlle Lea also talked about being caring and being good friends.
