We LOVE School!

Hello everyone in 3/4K,

we have had a wonderful year so far and I would love to hear about some of your favourite things about school.

Maybe it is the friends you have made? The topics you have learnt about? Things you are proud of? Things you had never done before? Or it might be excursions or camps that you went on?

I am sure you have more than just one thing that you love about school, try to write about 3 or 4 things. :)

Enjoy posting on the blog,
Mrs Keenan.
