9th - 13th November '09

This week in language we have been practising our pencil grip and control by completing a 'Mr. Strong' writing pattern. We had to try our best to stay on the black dotted line and complete each writing pattern from left to right.

Outside, we used chalk to copy large numbers from 1-10 which had been written on the wall.
