Our cultural wall


We have been working on our cultural wall in The Nest. 

Culture is important to learn about as we are all from different cultures. We have been learning about what different cultures wear and we designed our own peoples clothes. 

We also dictated a sentence about our culture and where we come from. 

Here is our cultural wall. 



Science in the Van


We had a great time watching the science experiments from Science in the Van!

We learnt about mixing two things together to make a mixture, and how to make extra big bubbles.
