Today in class one we all made a lovely poppy field painting and our own poppies. We learnt all about why we wear poppies ready for rememberance Sunday.
Skills morning
Happy Friday! Today we have been super busy in Class 2! We had a skills morning looking at maps, high frequency words and played head bands to help us with our describing skills. It was very fun! Also, some of us finish off our Egyptian Canopic Jars with the very talented Mr Fox.
