Election Day!
Today, we learnt about how adults vote for members of parliament. We even discussed Brexit!
Later, we held our own ballot. We voted for the film we wanted to see while we waited for our part in the Christmas Performance. It was very exciting!

Christmas Decorations
We have made our Christmas cards this year, to carry a Christmas decoration for your tree at home.
