Nicola's Base group practising for the music festival...

We are going to have a music festival. Nicola’s base group are doing a junk  (monsters) bot’s performance it is called junk monsters because they

are involved with plastic free peninsula. Our parents are bringing in

bits of pizza wrap, cardboard, plastic, and lots more! We have made an alien spaceship. We still need to add a few finishing touches on it. We have to cut it out a bit more and stick some more stuff on it. By Angus and Theo
