Well done everyone for today's hard work. Shout outs today go to Cezary in 4U who created a detailed and eye-catching comic strip and Olivia in 4V who made a fantastic clothing poster en Francais. Tres bien! 

Also, take a look at this Horrible Histories song all about Dick Turpin that Harrison (4U) found when researching yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYU-vSh7ORA
