Mrs
Towers. Ms Davies. Mr Cardiet.Immunisation helps protect our communities from a wide range of illnesses. Thanks to immunisation, diseases such as polio have disappeared in the UK. However, these diseases could come back as they are still seen in many countries throughout the world - which is why it’s so important to get your jabs.
Mr McKenzie
We picked 3 winners. They are as follows:
Katie Kovacs (French “History”
poster)
Ellie Wilson (Czech “Dance”
poster)
Janett Ghulam (German “Library”
poster)
Those will be framed and put up
in the Departments.
Well done!
