Hi Beech Class, I cannot believe we are at the end of another week and only have 2 more weeks left in Beech Class before the summer holidays. Thank you to everyone who has sent work over this week. If you haven’t managed this yet, please send me a piece of English work so I can see how your child is getting on.
