This morning in expedition we have been looking at the importance of the moon to Earth and our solar system. We created anchor charts based on the information we had learnt in preparation for our lecture. Well done Crew Ambler.
Well done to our Y5&6 girls who won the tag rugby festival on Friday at Thornensians. Even though the girls have never played rugby before they played fantastic throughout the whole tournament and won every game they played. Well done girls!
This week in reading we have been looking at the lyrics to David Bowie’s Space Oddity. The children have been really hooked and engaged in their reading this week and even had time for a sing along! Well done Crew Ambler.
