Around Clyde Brochures For Visitors

Every year Clyde School have an EOTC week. After this year's one the children all decided how cool it would be to share with visitors different activities they can do with their children around Clyde!
So they created their own brochures with their own photos of themselves doing these activities and little blurbs about them.
They are all so proud of them and now they are in the Alexandra Information Centre!
Click on Taine's to see some examples!

The children have been working hard on creating their mihimihi and they have just finished them!

We have been practicing in class and will spend the next few weeks learning them off by heart.

Get your child to share theirs with you at home and their friends too! Click on Hailey's to read the rest of them!
