This
week we are bringing in and sharing our treasures. A treasure is something that has sentimental value. They might need to ask
question about their treasure – they will be writing about it.
We
have talk in class about a treasure being something that is important BUT not
expensive. They might be things that are handed down or mark an important
event.
Here are some of the photographs Mr Dufty has taken.
