Question for today...

How old do you think the boy was when he first met the butterfly lion? How do you know?

Fashion show

We hope you are enjoying the Easter break. As you know, we were unable to invite parents into school to watch the Unit 2 fashion show. The children were very disappointed so we recorded the event and a video has now been uploaded to class page (class pages can be found using the the children tab at the top of the web page).
