Finished Beowulf

The We finished Beowulf today. Jess and the grade 1s are working on their own fables.

The kids talked about the similarities to the Hobbit. 

The grade 2 and 3 finished their notes in a bottle and are starting on their maps.

The grade 5s are working on their Lake Town pictures.

We finished our Smaug's and put them on display.

We had a sunny winter day today and the kids went outside to play which was great. ( I took the opportunity nail down the roof of the shelter shed.)
