Spy Cameras in Orchard Class
Mrs Luffman has been having problems in Orchard class for a little while now. Things have been going missing, some objects are getting moved, other things are being muddled up - all whilst we are not at school. We decided we needed to find out what was going on - so we set some spy cameras in class and in our outdoor learning area this weekend. You will never believe what we have found! Take a look for yourself!
