Love and marriage

Here comes the bride………………………….
Love and marriage, families, customs and cultures were the discussion topics for the week.
Most of us watched the royal wedding.We discussed customs and ceremonies in class.

We had fun dressing up and playing ‘wedding, wedding’.
Caleb was the groom and Ceri was the bride.
It was fun designing the clothes for the bride and groom.
                                  
         Alys made confetti.                                         Zoë decorated the cake.

We arranged flowers and gave them to our moms for Mother’s Day.
Reece and Nicholas are very busy.

Taydden chose a red rose for his mom.

 We learn about the seasons.
We learn about Autumn.
 
We played in the leaves at school.




Mrs. Webber loves our Autumn trees.  We learnt about deciduous trees. Alys thought they were called 'despicable trees'. We all laughed!

 
Hard at work!
                 
We mixed paint to make Autumn colour
