Mrs Anderson and Mrs Moore had fun learning how to use WORDLE. They made a WORDLE using the rhyming words in the shortlsited book The Terrible Plop!
Have a go making one yourself using WORDLE and one of the shortlisted books!!!
(Mrs Moore will give you a chocolate freddo if she thinks it is better than hers!
