Today was the last session of Crochet Critters club and here are the finished products! Mrs Allen, Mrs Sampson and Mrs Armitage were so proud of the way the children persevered even though it was a difficult and fiddly skill to master! We hope the children are as proud of their creations as we [...]
After 11 weeks of learning toots, Class 3 are very proud to present the fruits of their labours! Unfortunately, we were unable to invite guests into the hall to be amazed by our skills in person but we hope that the videos give you a glimpse into what we've been doing. A big thank [...]
