Literacy - explanation texts - flow chart writing

This week we continued our good work on explanation texts by looking at flow charts and how they work. We considered how the information was organised and ordered and the groups had to create their very own flow charts.

Recycled art

This week we continued our good work on the environment and explored new ways of using materials such as bottles for an art activity. The children learned how to make flowers using the top half of plastic bottles and created a very colourful display outside our class.
