Term 4 Extension reflection

 This year was my first year of year 5&6 Extension, in term one we learned what extension was about and what you do, we had extension on Tuesdays and Thursday at 12:30 . We had to research a Provocative Statement ‘Our identity, language and culture is a treasure that must be protected’. In term 2 we went into lockdown, we had to go on google meets every Tuesday and Thursday, i went to most of the meetings but not all. In Term 3 we learnt about  other places in the world. Then finally term 4, in term 4 we learnt all about art and did lots of it.
