Our new Reading Story is, Bunny Day. We will be working on sequence of a story. We will be also talking about adventures.
In Science, we have finally finished our “Wood and Paper” unit and have learned about the different kinds of paper and wood and how they can be changed. We have also learned about their physical properties and what they can be made into. We will soon be moving onto “Animals Two by Two”.
