We are busy learning songs for Hey Ewe. We have three songs to learn.
We have started our Christmas art. We are making clay handprints that we will paint as Santa Claus and put on the Christmas tree. The clay was hard to work with in the beginning.
In Science, we checked out the law of gravity as discovered by Isacc Newton. We saw that when you drop things of different weight from the same height, they will land on the ground at the same time. This information will be recorded in the Green Schools folder.
We are making progress with knitting, but the girls need a lot of help. Hopefully , there will be time to knit during the Christmas holidays. We would like to have a knitted Christmas wreath for the tree before the holidays
