This afternoon, Crew Jackson and Crew Ambler enjoyed a visit to Thorne Library as part of Reading Week. Everyone enjoyed selecting a book that interested them and then finding a comfy spot to read. The children have brought home application forms so that if they are interested they can become a member, borrowing books for free!

This morning we have built our knowledge about animal classification through the use of videos and information posters. This has supported us to go on to give detailed descriptions about rainforest animals using the correct scientific vocabulary. I am so proud of the beautiful work the children are producing so far this year. Fantastic work guys! x

Well done Jamie from all of your crew for being awarded star of the week at your out of school drama group. I love to hear all about the children’s achievements so don’t forget if you attend any clubs or activities to bring in certificates, medals, trophies and photographs to share with us!

This week we have had some fantastic home learning brought in linked to our expedition, ‘How can we help our planet survive?’ Well done guys for going above and beyond to produce some high quality work.

This week in reading block, we are using a non-fiction text called ‘The Animal Kingdom’. This afternoon, we identified scientific vocabulary which we did not know and searched up the meanings. This supported us in the first science lesson in case study 2.

This morning we listened to an online live event of an author sharing herwonderful book. It was lovely to listen to a real author read an extract from their new book.
