Pick and Mix Badgers
For his Pick and Mix homework, William in Year 2 made a gorgeous friendly badger as part of his ‘get crafting’ activity. He (with a little help from his family) made this wonderful badger which all the children in his class love. We are thinking of a name for him. William also wrote out […]
