Reading
Jump on reading eggs, some certificates have come through today ready for Friday’s special announcements! How exciting!
Or, you can listen to The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton – I’d highly recommend only missing on reading egg session to listen to this book for 20 minutes or so.
Has anybody listened to it yet? What do you think?

Again, we haven’t done a lot of wor on negative numbers so give it your best shot!
