We have been busy preparing the costumes for our Christmas Production! We have many of the costumes already. If your child needs a costume a letter will be sent home next week explaining what is needed.

For English we wrote a class poem about 'Anti-Bullying.' The children worked in groups and each one came up with a line for the poem. The children also wrote an explanation on, what a bicycle is?

The children completed their mosaic pictures, which look amazing! They will be on display in the corridor outside our classroom.
