This week we have been looking at performing our writing to an audience. The children used iPads to find pictures and then recorded their voices over the pictures, reading their letter to Father Christmas, to make a video. Miss Woodward was so impressed with how well the children followed instructions in order to make their movie. Well done Robins!
