We have been learning all about China in Prefab 8. We read the Story of The Magic Paintbrush, and The Willow Pattern Story. The boys made lovely drawings based on these stories. We also made Chinese dragon masks.

We worked very hard on our projects and learned lots of interesting facts about the solar system.
Science Experiment – Parachutes 🪂
December 2, 2022
We ran a couple of science experiments today! We got into teams, used different materials to make parachutes and test which material was best. We took turns dropping our parachutes from varying heights. We even made a hot air balloon, but because it was filled with ‘cold air’, it dropped down instead of floating up. We’ve got some great engineers in Prefab 12! ⚙️
Mrs Honey’s Hat

We had so much fun adding different fabrics and items to Mrs Honey’s new hat. We were glad to see her bubblegum and fish bones go!
Making our Christmas Shoebox 🎁for Team Hope 💙
November 25, 2022
Last week, we talked about some Christmas traditions and learned about children in other countries who may not be so fortunate as us.
We learned about Team Hope, a charity who runs the Christmas Shoebox Appeal every year (you can learn more about them here and watch this video).
We talked about what we might put into the shoebox using the 4Ws – something to WRITE WITH, something to WASH WITH, something to WEAR, and something to WOW.
We made a shopping list of everything we needed. We then organised our items into the 4Ws categories, packed up our shoebox, wrapped it up as a present and decorated it.
The boys showed admirable generosity and experienced a great sense of joy and pride by making this shoebox for another child – a completely selfless act.
Well done Prefab 12!
