Brain Week

Today we kicked off Brain Week with a presentation from Neuro Scientist Pascal Saker. He talked to us about the brain, how it works and the different parts it has.

We then further explored the parts of the brain by building our brain caps.

During literacy as a brain energiser we tried to follow the "Hand Dance" video trying to make as few mistakes as possible. Give it a go. How did you do?
