Buy Ness Clan’s Fantastic Christmas Decorations
Ness Clan have been working very hard to create stained glass decorations. They created their own posters to advertise their product, using persuasive language. They included bossy verbs and boastful adjectives to try to persuade their audience to purchase their products.
Please send in a small donation (suggested: £2) with your child to purchase their creation on Friday 17th December 2021.
