of grapes from the cafe. It was really fun.
There was a game my sister played she won and got a prize. She was really happy!

I have really enjoyed all the school discos
because i love dancing.

I have really enjoyed learning about the Romans in Britain because we painted shields and hung them from our roof. I particularly like rehearsing the play.


We raised over£ 100 pounds for the hole school however we can not remeber how much year 6 raised in the coin race.

I have really enjoyed watching the Mad science assembly in year 4 because I like all of the experiments that they do. I enjoyed when the man pops Eggbert in his house.

I have really enjoyed doing the massive coin race across the playground because it was very exciting and tiring. we went home and got coins then the next day we came backs with 1p 2p and it went up to 50i. We then layed the coins on the double sided sticky tape. The class with the most coins won. Year 6 won.

I have really enjoyed going on J2e in year 4 because you get to explore new and exciting ideas on it.
