We have learned how to tell time - the hour and the half hour. In Environmen- tal Studies, we just finished talking about the food groups and the importance of eating nutritious foods. The Dinosaur Den is definitely enjoying the Olympics! It's amazing • to see the athletes in action! For Art this week we tried movement drawings of our favourite event.
