The children have been enjoying practising their poem ‘The Sair Finger’.  I am so proud of them all – thank you so much to everyone at home who have helped the children practise it. The winner of the poetry competition will be chosen tomorrow by one of the other teachers in the base. I am sure the children will all be fantastic and it’ll be a very difficult decision 🙂
