Australian surprise

Today Room 8 received a Video Call from Miss Lochhead's Auntie Rosemary who lives in Perth, Australia! We all got very excited when we saw Miss Lochhead's phone ringing! 

We asked Rosemary and her friend Olivia questions about Australia! It was so much fun! 

Rosemary said she will phone us again and let us speak to another of her Australian friends! 

What an amazing afternoon!

Open Doors

Thank you to all the parents that came to the Open Doors session tonight. It was lovely to see the children so excited about their class work. 

Australia

Our Australia topic has got off to a great start! Miss Lochhead's auntie lives in Western Australia and Room 8 were very excited to have received an e-mail from her! She sent us pictures of local animals and plants! 

We wanted to find out where Australia was in the world so we completed a mapping challenge with our partners. We can't wait to learn more!
