Year 3

Today Connie and Lillia planned and led our Prayer and Liturgy.  They chose to reflect on the story of Noah’s Ark and God’s promise.  

Year 3 enjoyed recreating Stone Age Cave Paintings this afternoon.  We made the paper look old by dying it using teabags.  We learnt that they created their own paints using natural resources.
