The Vikings!


Our Friday started off with a convocation where risk-takers were recognised. Congratulations to Temi  and Julia for being recognised as risk-takers. Houses also got to participate in a house game.

Once in class, we worked on our explorers inquiry unit. Students were asked who discovered America. They wrote their predictions on a few questions relating to early European explorers coming to North America. We discussed the reasons that Europeans went exploring. Students then heard about the Vikings. Ask your child what they learned.

Our class went on our last curling trip. Students are making good progress with their curling skills.
