We explored the needs of people and other living things for shelter, and how built and natural environments can provide this. We made these 3D houses out of paper bags in creative arts which helped us understand how humans make shelter and why things like walls and a roof are important to protect us from rain and wind. Term 2-3 Holidays In the spirit of the upcoming month of Ramadan we would like to announce that the school will have a 3 week holiday. The last day for Term 2 will be Friday 26th June. The students will return to school on Monday 20th July, after Eid El-Fitr.
