This week in literacy primary 6/7 we completed our writing assessment. We had three different options for questions to write our exposition about. They were: Should children wear school uniform; Is climate change caused by humans and Should children get outdoor play during school ours? We also focused on Time and Sequence words and using conjunctions.

Santa’s Grotto/Christmas Fair
We decorated Santa’s Grotto for the school Christmas Fair. First we made 3D snowflakes out of paper and hung them up around the Grotto. We re-designed the fireplace to look better, then we made stockings to hang from the fireplace. We also printed out colouring pages for the younger children to colour whilst they were waiting. some of them were entered into the drawing competition, the winners will be announced on Monday. Everyone did a great job!
