Big Question

Before school closed we were looking at Fairy Tales and in particular; The Three Little Pigs, Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood. A feature of a fairy tale is usually a happy ending and that got me thinking…

Does everyone deserve a happy ending?

Use the sentence openers to have a discussion with your families and in the comments below.

Every Friday as normal, we will be celebrating our school values by nominating two pupils from each class to receive an online certificate for Star of the Week. Will it be you?
