Earlier in the term, the whole school designed our future beanies. Mrs Templeton, Riley, and I had the privilege of choosing the top 3 best beanie designs. It was a very hard decision but we managed to narrow it down to three amazing designs. During recess and lunch time, Riley and I got everyone to vote, and we have the winners. In third place with 35 votes, we have Kendell. In second place with 44 votes, we have Tilly. And in first place with 51 votes, we have Finlay. Well done to everyone who entered the competition. If people would like to purchase our new WUPS beanie order forms have gone home today. |
