What we have been learning

We are learning about keeping our selvs safe. We made some photostories in class to show how to keep ourselves safe. This photostory is about road safety. We dont have any sound on this one but it is still cool.
We made one about sun and water safety which we shared at assembly. Some people were rubbing in sun screan and everyone was wearing a hat. Some children researched facts on sun and water safety.
