New Autex goes up in the TLC

We were super excited today to have the kind gentleman come and install the Autex wall.  This means we'll be able to put things up on the wall without them falling off!

Calendars go home this week



Our calendars are finally ready.  The children created a marble page with oil paint in water. Then using a potato, they printed a picture with birds.

In the pit at maths time

Today we were working out place value and it was tricky.  We call this " being in the pit".  Rather than telling the children, the children worked it out.  I was SO proud.  Now they are too good and it's difficult to find numbers that they can't find the place value of.  Well done team. Ali
