What a clever bunch of readers!

Taste testing!

Today Miss Hamlin brought in some lemonades from her tree at home.  The students predicted what they might taste like and wrote their prediction down in their books.
After that we all had a taste.  They were delicious!  We finished off by writing sentences about what they tasted like, smelt like and felt like.  Who said writing was boring!!

Coding

Today we had the fabulous Catriona Pene come in to introduce the students to basic coding.
She was guiding them through the Disney's Hour of Code app on our class ipads.  I'm pretty sure the kids are going to be better than us very soon!

Parents - Some food for thought

As a mother of two young boys I am always interested in reading parenting articles.  I came across this blog today, the first bullet point about technology so accurately describes what we are seeing in school these days.
