This week, in honour of Grandparents Day, we have been celebrating all that is wonderful about our Grannies and Grandads and Nanas and Papas…..whatever they may be called, there is nothing quite like the love that they give us. The children in both rooms conducted interviews and learned about what it was like for their grandparents growing up, what they ate, what they liked about school, what games they liked to play and presented their projects to their classes. Well done everyone on some excellent projects!

The Junior room have been learning all about friction this week
