This afternoon we were learning about the importance of the River Nile in ancient Egypt and started making informative posters on it. We can’t wait to share our learning with you next week at parents night.

This morning in P5 we practiced our coding skills. We got hands-on with micro:bits, programming them to react to different noise levels 🎶🔊. From quiet whispers to loud claps, our code displayed different images 💻⚡
