Today we looked at the values in the new curriculum and how they relate to Room Ten. Annie modelled her list in the morning and we talked about what they meant. This after noon we came up with our own statements about how they relate to Room Ten. Annie thought we did better than she did! They have a lot of meaning to us and are written by us. They are in our words.
