I’m really proud of Izzy for her work on news reports using last week’s home learning. It is a slightly different style of writing that she has worked hard to develop – fantastic! I really like the last line: “the puppies were last seen feeding and sleeping well”. Oh I just wish I could give them a cuddle – you’ve made me want a puppy even more Izzy!
