Children in need 2024

Today the children have taken part in run Pudsey 2024. We also watched a video of what children in need is and who it helps. The children all received a certificate for taking part in the Joe Wicks challenge.

Today in our literacy we made story boxes based on some of the scenes in our story Orion and the Dark.
