The pupils have been using J2e to write their own news reports on the Wales against Australia match. Read an example below.

In class we are reading the book 'Holes' by Louis Sachar. Without any spoiler alerts it is about a boy who did a crime and got sent to Camp Green Lake where he dug a hole each day in the scorching sun to build his character.

Our personal opinion on this book is:

The way Louis Sachar describes the characters is immaculate and fantastic. He describes them in such a way you can see the characters.

Our rating for holes is 4.5/5 so far...

We had great fun in the netball tournament today.We learned lots and won 2 out of 3 rounds!
