October - Into Narnia we go...

The WOW room has been transformed into Narnia, which is great for us as we are reading "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" at the moment. We've worn furry hats and jackets, held ice blocks and used leaves and twigs as extra sensory stimulation to help us imagine we are in Narnia and to inspire our writing.

1st October - Pizza Express

We enjoyed a great session at Pizza Express in Horsforth. We made some lovely tasting pizzas and had lots of fun! Say cheese!
