Our Wolves' leaflets have finally finished! Some are pretty terrifying. The aim of the leaflet was to warn rabbits about the dangers that wolves pose. Our work was inspired by the wonderful book by Emily Gravett, 'Wolves'.
We have also started our new book, The Promise. Which is a beautifully written and illustrated story about a girls journey from being mean and hard, to being kind and considerate.
In Maths, we have been adding and subtracting 3 digits.
