15 Things to do with a pen

 
Today we thought about the different things you can do with a pen. Some of the things we thought of were play the drums, write, draw, scratch your back, point at something, make a fairy bridge and use it as a dipstick.
We also thought about what you can do with a piece of string. Some of the things we thought of include measuring, tug of war, see how deep things are, see how straight something is, skipping rope, hang your Christmas cards and decorations.

Battle of Britain


Today we researched the Battle of Britain as today marks the 75th anniversary of the battle. We also researched Winston Churchill who was Prime Minister at the time and led us to victory. It is important to remember the sacrifices people made at that time.
