Last week Foxes class played Quidditch, it was amazing fun because we used hockey sticks as flying brooms!
If you were the Golden Snitch you could run as far as you like! In literacy we have started to write our own stories after we read Romulus and Remus. We love using our adjectives to describe our characters. During science we learnt how forces make things move and how gravity pushes things down to earth. Written by Irvin Danquah and Ellie Doman
