Stars of the week...TWO YOUNG GENTLEMEN THIS WEEK!
For a superb piece of descriptive writing. Jesse showed wonderful use of descriptive language, adverbs to start sentences and a passion for writing that we were all so very proud of in 4G! | We were so impressed by Zihans persuasive letter and hope the President of Brazil manages to read it because she will not be able to argue with the points Zihan made. Well done! |
