Modroc... Monster Mash!



We hope to upgrade these photos to a slide show.
Using modroc has helped us use our imagination to create creatures that we might have found difficult to make using other media...

A member of the class had the great idea
of tie dyeing our Fairtrade Bunting.
IT LOOKS FANTASTIC!

Looking for Wally... World Book Day










P2 were back with us again
this afternoon
'looking for Wally'
as part of their World Book Day activities.
They soon found him peeping out from a book!
We made bookmarks to give them as they left.

Class 4/5 wrote book reviews which were shared in the school library.
