In Room 1 we do free Writing on Thursdays and some students chose to make posters on things that are important to them and the messages they want to share with the wider world. Some students chose to write letters to people they wanted to express their feelings to or just write a letter to.

Here are two posters and more will be posted soon. The students used Google Draw to create their posters and share their messages. Here are two letters these students wrote to their Teacher- Manpreet.
