Last Tuesday we had our class party. We all had so much fun, even if it wasn't our party yet.
We had 5 suprises! The 1st suprise was doing Just Dance and the best dancers got sweets.

Our 2nd suprise was a drawing competition and Teagan came 3rd, Neve came 2nd and Abi came 1st.

Our 3rd suprise was a film. We watched Nativity 2. We then had lunch which was really yummy especialy when you have been dancing half the morning.

Our 4th surprise was a Vocab trail in which there was a word and a theme. Whoever has the most letters win if all the words are right.

And our 5th suprise was a delicious, yummy cake.

Thanks for reading the Penguins weekly blog.
