Our Cookie

This week the whole school had to do a writing sample. This was our class experience of eating a cookie. The children had to brainstorm, think and write about what they could see, smell and taste. We've also got photos to show you what we did as well. We will have some of the children retell their stories later.

A self evaluation report by Elizabeth

At the end of the year it's a particularly busy time for everyone. But especially for teachers. Teachers write reports for each child and it can take a long time.

Listen to Elizabeth's self evaluation report and see if she has made any improvements or not.
