As always home made pizzas went down a treat, with the juniors trying the tricky task of directing a partner to create their pizza. This was such a fun oral language task to try, and everyones pizzas turned out perfectly. We have all also been very busy preparing our Claymation Characters, Props and Scenery. Its been like having a mini Weta Workshop in our classroom, pretty cool actually. Finally, today is Jaimes last day. We have all really enjoyed having Jaime here to help our lear ning and singing. We wish her all the best for her future studies, and know that she will be a wonderful teacher when she finishes. The Mini Weta Workshop
