Presentation time! The kids have been working on a five-week research project about food chains, and they were excited to show what they have learned. This week we continued our lessons about Aboriginal culture; one of the things we focused on was how long the Aboriginal people have lived in Australia.

One of our moms brought in a frozen treat for the kids with a chocolate penguin on top, just to celebrate our coldest continent! That face says it
