We have had another successful week in Class 2. We made perseverance posters in PSHE, which we will put on display and use to help motivate us across the year when we need a boost or a push of self-belief. The class came up with their own inspirational quote and they showed great creative flare when using the water colour paints to create their backgrounds. Each poster is so unique and special – well done Class 2!
