Today’s reading lesson was all around retrieval so we used roll mats to generate different retrieval questions based on our text ‘Joe White’.
This week, we have been learning all about light including how we see light and how shadows are formed. The children hunted for shadows around the classroom and thought about how they were created.
Thinking ahead for our current Year 5 children, The Snaith School have already published their transition dates for anyone thinking about attending their school. Please see the attached flyer.
