This afternoon we have been dissecting flowers and identifying the different parts. 

What else to do on a really hot day but gardening and water fight. 

We have been learning about Hindu beliefs around reincarnation and what happens to the soul. Year 5 worked on some creative pieces about what they think happens to the soul. 

Turns out practicing for sports day is as much fun as sports day.
