Valentine's Day in our school



We wrote lots of cards and brought sweets and flowers . Then we gave them to our 'loving' Language Assistants : Emily, Christine, Adam and Trevor.
Little presents for our best friends or 'sweethearts'.
The language assistants delivered them to the recipients. They entered into classrooms and......there you are!
Maybe you have a surprise!!!!!!
This picture below was designed by one of our 4 E.S.O.students
