Our Literacy unit is 'Stories from other Cultures'.

Today we have read an extract from 'The Pearl Diver' by Julia Johnson set in the Arabian Gulf. We found out that the chances of finding a pearl in an oyster is 1 in 10,000!

The season of rounders and cricket has begun today in all Key Stage 2 classes. Today we have been focusing on throwing, catching and hand eye co-ordination.

We have started this half term's topic work by looking at Viking events. We have all moved tables so it has given us a change to discuss the events with different members of the class!
