Today was the first lesson with C. For science, we did some lesson about light and got him to do a periscope activity. His mind mapping skills were amazing, for a first timer with me, he nailed what I wanted him to do. Again, I always say I’m a believer of students capable of mind… Continue reading 2018 – Periscope (p4 science)

Next on, stacking cups with food chain templates. Gave my instructions… Continue reading 2018 – Mouldy Bread, Stacking Cups (p6 science)
