Year 3 and 4 are sat down with their popcorn and drink waiting for the film to start. They’ve come to watch Early Man and are all very excited (especially because they have reclining seats!)  

A big thank you to our first mystery reader, Alex’s dad. He brought in a book by our last author of the term, Julia Donaldson. The children sat beautifully and really enjoyed the story.
