Kai has been super busy this weekend sewing an amazing 3D Father Christmas. We are very impressed!

We are mega proud of two of our sporting legends in Year 4.

In English we were looking at embedded clauses. We played a game where we had to role a dice to choose a sentence from the ‘main clause’ column and another sentence from the ‘embedded clause’ column, then we had to write the sentence correctly in our books. We ended up with some really funny…
