Year 3

This week, Year 3 welcomed Charlie’s mum who gave a presentation all about Chinese New Year. The children learnt about why the festival is celebrated, what celebrations look like around the world and traditions associated with the annual festival. The children were lucky enough to receive red envelopes called hóngbāo and sampled some delicious snacks. Year 3 Team

Year 4

This week we have started our new topic in Science, Teeth. We have been looking at different types of teeth and their shapes and different functions. We then made our own teeth out of clay, ensuring we included our incisors, canines, pre-molars and molars. Teeth are amazing!  Year 4 Team
