There was some fantastic work uploaded yesterday! I loved looking through it all! Ava W, Jamie-Lea, Ellie, Heidi, Tyler, Lily H and Blake were just some of the children that uploaded some great work! I loved Archie and Lilly-Mae’s shields, the photos of your designs were brilliant. Remember to make sure your name is written on your uploads so your teacher knows who has sent them.
