Today in Owls Class, we became geographers as we explored the fascinating world of rivers! We began by learning that a river is like a long, winding road made of water. We discovered that every river has a source, where it begins high up in the mountains, and a mouth, where it ends in a sea, ocean or lake.

After learning about knife safety and chopping their fruit carefully, each child added their ingredients to a blender to make their very own smoothie.

Some children pretended to be helpers, some were callers and some were the emergency services. We

It was so nice to be able to spend time with our buddies again!
