In week one of the Class 4 bubble we did lots of exciting things. We played some amazing social distancing games; including going on a scavenger hunt, telling stories and doing lots of physical games. We also did maths in our special areas.

This week we did work on castles which enabled us to learning about the history of castles and we completed lots of castle art. We also found lots of interesting bugs outside while we were playing.

Next time we are in we will do lots of work about dragons then we are going to learning about India and do some very exciting work about magic!

Artwork

On Thursday we started the day by doing "PE with Joe", later we went on a mini beast hunt in the garden.

We read the story "Aliens Love Underpants" and drew our own alien pictures on Purple Mash. If you're at home why not use 2Paint on Purple Mash to design your own alien?
