WEEK 7: October 3rd-7th 2016

  Another great week for Year Two! We had another guest story teller join us on Tuesday to share a funny story about a flying dog.

 

This week we finished up our Inquiry projects where students showed what they know about a certain area of Healthy Living. Some students chose to work in groups others independently. Students could either make a poster or a short skit they wrote themselves. Students chose subjects ranging from healthy eating to staying fit with exercise.
