The Christmas Fayre was a huge success, raising nearly £3000 - wow!
Room 11 made personalised plaques with their name, or someone else's as a gift. We painted the wooden plaques with bright acrylic paint and added a touch of sparkle with some sticky letters and stars. Finally, some wire was added to turn it into a beautiful door sign!
As part of our Bill's New Frock topic, we learned about gender stereotypes and the ways the media influences boys and girls to want to buy certain toys.

The advert was to last around 30 seconds and they had to come up with their own catchy slogan.
Have a look at the children in action - they are fantastic!!
