Class 4 was especially busy as Term 2 drew to a close. The children proudly submitted their wonderful animal projects, demonstrating both creativity and a growing depth of research skills. They were also busy crafting beautiful metal can lanterns in preparation for the Winter Festival, bringing warmth and light to this special seasonal celebration.

We ended the term on a high note with the class's entertaining and humorous performance of Thor and the Giants . The children embraced their roles with enthusiasm and confidence, delighting the audience with their acting and storytelling.

As part of the production, the class helped paint the backdrop featuring Yggdrasill, the great World Tree of Norse mythology, that connects the nine worlds. High among its branches lies Asgard, the realm of the gods, linked to Midgard, the world of humans, by Bifrost, the shimmering rainbow bridge. Beyond Midgard lies Jotunheim, the land of the giants. Throughout Norse legends, the giants and gods are often in conflict, but Asgard remains protected by Thor and his mighty hammer, Mjolnir.

The play was a wonderful culmination of the term's work and provided the children with an opportunity to bring the rich stories of Norse mythology to life.
