Caritas challenge Friday 5 April

Hi everyone!


Yesterday we did a Caritas challenge so we could see how it's like in South Sudan.
We made box houses like me and my friends made one out of a big box and carved a door in
the box, made some windows, a pathway and an old curtain for a roof.The highlight for me was making the cardboard fort. This is me and and my friends in our forts eating rice.

Weekly Update Friday 8 March

Hello,

This week has been amazing!!! The highlight for me was our eel trip on Thursday. We learned about the bugs that lives in our waterways. The bugs also help the eels stay alive. My favourite part was when me and my friends were making a magical river for our 100% natural art lesson.
