If you are not a member we highly recommend joining. Your children followed our rules so well. We were very proud of…

Year 1 Sacrament have been using dance to retell The Three Little Pigs. We have been trying to understand how the wolf and pigs felt and then using our facial expressions and actions to re-enact it.

We shared a quiet moment to think of those who have died and listened to a bible reading. We ended our visit…

We made a yellow wrist band to remind us to think about ours and others mental health. We watched a video of doodling and how that can help…
