We had a busy day today in 3.11 as we wrote book reviews for our favourite book in celebration of World Book Day. The children were all given a book token worth £1 which can used for one of the ten books available that only cost £1 or the children can use these tokens to get £1 off of a book. It is available to use until the 26th March 2017 from local retailers such as Waterstones. We took a picture today to show off some of the fabulous costumes.
This afternoon, Mrs Gordon joined us in 3.11 as we were learning about food! We learnt how to made some very exciting dips! We made guacamole and raita and learnt all about food groups, health and safety and ingredients/materials. Please see the picture below of some children in action.

Today we were lucky enough to have Judo instructors in today to demonstrate a mini workshop in Judo. We teamed up with 3.12 and participated in some really cool Judo moves. We were given letters with information on how to join and also where and when these sessions take place. Most of the children thoroughly enjoyed it. Please click on the pictures below to see the picture in better quality and please see the letter that each child got for further information.
