ZUMBA!

Today was our last Zumba class with Ms Benson.  Her Zumba music really makes you want to move.  She is an inspiration, because she's had a DOUBLE lung transplant and manages to teach Zumba, which is a serious workout.  We really enjoyed having her, and we're all better dancers for it, too!

Carys reading us a great Biff and Chip book

Carys practiced at home and was a model teacher when she shared The Bully with the class. She asked for predictions, stopped at key places to deepen understanding and asked thought provoking questions.

Garden visits have started up again.
