Safe to say, 6CC fully enjoyed the start to their week! 👏🏻👍🏼😂
Stockings of success!
The class enjoyed sinking their teeth (or needles rather) into the task of making their own Christmas stockings from scratch. With resilience and the support of their parents, guardians and teachers, the class produced some fine, festive designs. Thank you to all the adults who came in to visit their children.
