Elastic or Stretchy?

Personally, I am more stretchy than elastic! But I guess that's just my age...Today 3G spent the morning deciding whether different materials were more elastic or stretchy. If you send us a material we will definitely make a point of looking at whether it is more stretchy or elastic.

Remembering the past!

Recently, the world marked the anniversary of the terrible tragedy that was the first world war. Avi wrote this poem based on a picture from that war. I think his poem really does capture a poignant moment from the conflict.
