_English

This week, we have written leaflets to attract holiday makers to take a trip to Italy. To make the sentences and paragraphs flow, we concentrated on connectives. In particular; imperative verbs, fronted adverbials and conjunctions. 

Each week, we work on different spelling strategies. So many rules to remember!

Easter Events

Here are the wonderful Easter Bonnets created by our class. We were all so impressed with the creativity and style. Well done, everyone. 

The egg rolling was so much fun. After the first round of heats, the finals were repeated several times after some dead heats, too close to call! We finally had our top three.
