Helping Simba in Commando Joe’s
Year 1 have had an awesome Commando Joe session today. Their missions have recently been based within the story of The Lion King. Today they had to help Simba refill the watering hole after Scar had been defeated and left Pride Rock.
The children were tasked with moving water as quickly and effectively as they could. There were some fantastic ideas how to use the resources to transport the water. Brilliant team work.
Wordle!
One of Class 3’s weekly challenges is to use the iPads to solve simple ‘Wordle’ problems. We have loved using them alongside our friends.
