Projects are a great way for the children to practice their reading and writing in a fun engaging way. We have completed lots of project work in school and the children always enjoy working on their projects. Projects can be laid out as a booklet (by stapling sheets together), on a large sheet or in scrapbook form. We would love to see pictures of the children's projects, and if you email them on we can put them up!
