Another wonderful week here in South America! On Tuesday, we began our science topic for this half term, where we will be learning all about light. We learnt how fast light travels, and that's the reason we can see lightning before we hear thunder. We also conducted an experiment to prove that light only travels in straight lines called 'rays'. I know the children would love to tell you all about what we did and how we were able to show this using items from the classroom. We really enjoyed this learning, and are looking forward to more experiments to come over the next few weeks.
 
Have a brilliant weekend everyone!

Wow! What a fabulous first week we have had here in South America. I have loved spending some time getting to know all of the children, and they have blown me away with how kind, respectful and lovely they are. We have also spent some time learning more about our class continent: South America. We learnt all about the geography of the continent, as well as looking at a famous Brazilian artist -Romero Britto - and recreating his unique style. We now know some really cool facts about South America, which I know the children would love to share with you.
 
Have a great weekend everyone!
