This week in BEC, we explored Pa lliw? by reading the story ‘Colour and Me’ We then practiced colour mixing in a variety of different ways. Additionally, we explored colour through cause-and-effect toys as part of our IDP targets to enhance our communication and interaction skills🎨🌈🌟

Over the week, we explored the importance of friendships in celebration of Anti-bullying week. We looked at what our friendships look like in our classroom community. We ended the week with lots of fun activities and a non uniform day in support of children in need.
