  1. Emily and Lucy - what a great idea! Some of the answers were a bit short but they still said a lot and made me think about being an Accountant. I wonder who gets paid more, a teacher or an Accountatnt!
    Really liked the Interview, such a great idea and one I haven't seen before. Emily we'd also like to thank you for your comment on our class blog and yes the Girls were pleased to make the Semi-Finals of such a big competition.
