Try singing at home!

We learnt  some Korean words and we made this into a song.

The first word is Pizza. The next words is 'Bap' which means rice in Korean. The third words is 'Kimchi Gook' which means Kimchi stew. Lastly, it is 'Kimbap' which means sushi in Korean.

Try it at home!

Planting our garden

Today we planted our garden with beautiful flowers!

First, we had to dig a hole with a spade.

Then, we carefully put the plant into the hole and press it down with soil.

Lastly, we gave some water!

Don't they look beautiful outside our class?

Snag Golf

We started to learn golf today.
Before we hit the ball it is important to have our hands together, feet together, facing the ball and 'tick tock like a clock!'
Aim for the target!
