Class 3 today took home their fabulous photo frames. Professionally made and beautifully decorated everyone was proud of their creations. The children designed the frames after learning about what makes structures strong and practising standing structures up using triangles. The outcomes have been outstanding, with frames decorated with jewels and stickers and buttons and lollypop … Read more
