3M Assembly A big ’Thank you!’ to class 3M for their fantastic assembly about the hu-

man eye. The children started by delivering a Talk4Writing recital of ‘The

Clever Wish’ story and then went on to share a wealth of information

about our eyes. All in attendance were amazed by the confident loud voic-

es used and the animated delivery that the children gave. Well done 3M!
