HEALTH | GERM ART
This week we have been talking about keeping safe and remembering to wash our hands before eating, after play and using the bathroom. The children also started an experiment using bread, clean hands and dirty hands to hopefully demonstrate how germs, although we cannot see them, spread very quickly. The children also had some fun with paint, straws and eyes to make our germ art look amazing!
Stay tuned for the results of our bread experiment.
Play Investigations
Here are some pictures of our class during this time. It provides the children with the chance to explore friendships and investigate the varied provocations around the room.

BOOK MAKING
The children started their Book Making this week! Every child is an author in our class and it was fabulous to see their wonderful journey as beginning writers.
RELIGION
We delved into the question of who is God and what do we know about God. The students were eager to share their responses. Then, after listening and watching the creation story from Genesis, the students drew their idea of who God is. Have a look at their representations.
OUR VISIT TO THE MUDLA
On Thursday we all visited our wonderful Mudla. The children had lots of fun and lots to talk about.
