Stars of the week: THE WHOLE OF CLASS 2

Well done Class 2 on a brilliant first week back. You were amazing on our trip to The Monument. You took care whilst climbing the 311 steps to the top and were so brave. We learnt some extra facts about the Great Fire of London and saw the spectacular skyline of London. When we got back to class you wrote brilliant diaries, as if you were a child during the fire in 1666. You included so much detail and really thought carefully about how you were feeling.
