On Tuesday it had snowed so we spent some time outside.  We enjoyed telling our friends all about what we had been doing at home.  We chose to either use an iPad, use a laptop, or write our news in our books.  We continued to read ‘The Invisible String’ and thought about our qualities and what makes us, us.  
We had an amazing time in Liverpool at the Maritime Museum on Wednesday.  We explored the basement where it was dark!  We learnt all about different boats and enjoyed the interactive activities.  We saw a model of Titanic and learnt about how it hit an iceberg and sunk to the bottom of the ocean.  On the way back to school our teacher stopped at KFC and she bought us a KFC bucket to share back in school!  We really enjoyed the KFC!

We learnt about Epiphany and made a star that the Three Kings followed to see baby Jesus.
