In Year 1 and Year 2, we have been learning how to sew as part of our DT project! We had to thread our needles, which was very tricky but we persevered. Next, we practised a running stitch - we did a fabulous job and Miss Wallace was very proud of our hard work. We can’t wait to continue our…

On Monday afternoon we welcomed local author Rachel Walmsley to the infant class. She shared her newest book with the class and led a workshop focusing on how to create interesting characters which included the children drawing an extra dog character for Spotty the Dog Walker.

We talked about why these gifts are so…
