Looks like Logan's family had a fabulous time in the snow yesterday. This is the first time in 100 years it has snowed in the Square.

Dear Mrs Kenyon,
How are you? The weather in China is very hot. Nearly every day is over 30c. Some days are over 35c.
There are more photos coming.
I have been to some interesting places I would like to share some photos with our class.

PE Session with our Buddy Class



We had another fantastic PE session with our Buddy Class today. LC11 picked all the games, set them up, and had a go at running the sessions for the children. It was challenging. Some children commented on how hard it was to get the younger children to listen to them and to follow their instructions.

Boat Racing


Today we raced the boats we made last term. The pool water was pretty 'yucky' but we managed.
Kayla had the fastest rubberband boat and Christian has the best sinker - we renamed his boat "Submarine".

Well done to you all for following the directions for boat making, re-writing them in your own words for your peers to follow and making such fantastic boats. Maybe you can make one at home.

Weight & Capacity

We have learning all about weight and capacity in LC11. Did you know there are 250mls in a cup and 4 cups in a litre?

Perhaps we could do some cooking with you in the weekend to help reinforce what we have learnt.
