Good morning Beech Class!
We have been so impressed with the photos of the vehicles you have been making using junk. We have put a gallery of your creations on the website for you to share with each other. We are looking forward to seeing what you come up with this week. Don’t forget to try and keep hold of a plastic bottle.
We have also been blown away by the amazing free verse poems you wrote last week. There were so many wonderful and different ideas. Some children chose to write about sports or family members instead. If your child isn’t inspired by a suggested activity please feel free to adapt it or send us an email and we can support you with this.
Here are Monday’s house point totals:
Blue – 5
Green – 20
Yellow – 39
Well done Yellow Team!
