Summer term

We have had a great start to the summer term.

Our topic is 'Save the Planet' and alongside year 5 and 6 we will be finding out how use of Palm Oil is affecting the World's Rainforests.

We will be having a very busy term. As well as our topic work many of our class will be spending time at their High Schools as part of the transition activities. We have visitors to school to share some Rainforest creatures with us and to talk about Palm oil, what it is and why it's causing a problem. 

We are enjoying the book 'Bog Baby at the moment. It's a lovely book about a very tiny magical creature who is cared for, but is living in the wrong habitat. 

We are also making some books on the Ipad about Rainforests, where they are and the animals and plants that live there. Check back later in the term and have a look at the work we are enjoying producing.

Scary things are happening!

We have been very busy since we returned after Christmas. We have met a few dinosaurs too! 

Our whole school topic for this term is 'FOOTPRINTS' I wonder if you can guess what kind of footprints we have been looking at?

Thanks to Pete for bringing them along to class. 

We also met a very large dinosaur in our school hall, that was very scary!
