St Peter’s Post #11

A week full of Roots of Empathy, Write a Book and podcasts for you this week! Let’s get started:

• Sixth class recorded an excerpt of the ‘I have a dream’ speech for Martin Luther King day. You can listen to it here.
• 4th class posted some astounding facts on Twitter this week about dangerous creatures. The Mermaid Theatre were very impressed:

@StPetersBray we are a bit scared of all your spidery facts! Eeek! 🙂
