Lockdown 2, 2021
During this lockdown we are going to try and keep fit by doing some simple activities each day. I will put up a new challenge each day so that when we come back to school we will challenge other classes to find the winner of each task. They will receive a prize. So you will need to practice everyday to see if you can be the best of the best. Good luck everyone.

Today we are going to make some chocolate chip cookies. If you have some ingredients at home it would be nice for you to make some with your parents at home.
We made use of the new lego that Mrs Mayerhofler has ordered for our school. It was great to try and create new things and use lots of little bits and pieces that we could find to make our creations.
Today we had to design and make our own lego cars. If you have some lego at home maybe you could make one and take a picture and ask your teacher to post it on our page. We were going to have a car race. We read the story car races and then we talked about what kind of car we were going to make. When we were finished we went outside to test our cars.
After we finished our races we came back inside to write about our cars and our results.
