Daffodil Day

On Friday 30th August we had daffodil day.
We dressed up in the colours of daffodils to remember people
 who have had cancer. It was a colourful day and we made a coin trail, did
some daffodil art and made some cards.

Caines Arcade

We saw an amazing video on You Tube about a boy called Caine.
He lives in America, and has made lots of arcade games out of cardboard.
Caines Arcade has become a worldwide phenomenon so we decided to get on board!
We got into teams of 3 or 4 and planned and made an arcade game.
Today we invited our budd

y reading classes to join us and play the games.
It was awesome and we think our buddies in Room 4 really enjoyed playing our games.
