Our special visitor

Today we have had a special visitor in 5O! Jenny Sullivan has been helping us write fantastic stories all based on a wishing stone. Some of us have visited World War 2, whereas others have been walking amongst dinosaurs. It has been a great treat for us and has really helped us improve our writing.

Thank you all for being so well behaved today in Legoland. I had a lovely time and felt so so proud of you. Have a great summer holidays but keep safe and remember to do your homework too! Thank you also for all my beautiful presents and cards too and I look forward to teaching you once again in September!

We have had a great time learning about Roman houses, entertainment and their army today. Tomorrow we will be sampling some food (make sure your permission slip is brought in) and dressing up Roman style (please bring a sheet!!). See you tomorrow for more Roman antics. 

Horatia. 

We are trying our hardest to improve our spellings in 4O. This morning we have made our own word searches containing fifteen of our high frequency words. We will be super spellers in no time!!!

Techniquest

We had a brilliant time at Techniquest yesterday. It was great to learn all about owl pellets, animal skulls, and trying out the exhibits. I was so proud that you were on your best behaviour too! Here are some pictures of the trip.
