GEMS JUMEIRAH PRIMARY SCHOOL

22nd May 2014

This week we were talking and learning about Safari What animals can you
see? What new facts have we learnt? How did we discover these facts? Please
make sure you ask your children about all the different things they have learnt
about.
Some of the classes have been using the iPads to find out information and look
for images of the different animals, then we have copied them to draw
pictures to support our facts.
Lots of classes have made clay animals this week, how amazing they look.
