Almost end of term!!!!!!!

It's almost end of term and we have lots of work to do including ASPIRE, persuasive arguments and 'See ya Simon' work. 

At the end of the term Ms Burden is leaving to have a baby and we're going to have a new teacher called Miss Black. 

Next week onTuesday we're presenting our ASPIRE work based on IMPACT.  I'm making a commericial for the radio about paper and recycling.

Good luck to everyone!
