We are reading…

Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo, as fantastic story about adventure and friendship.

Washed up on an island in the Pacific, Michael struggles to survive on his own. With no food and no water, he curls up and closes his eyes ready for the end. When he wakes, there is a plate beside him of fish, of fruit, and a bowl of fresh water. He is not alone …

We are learning about...

In Science, we are learning about sound. We will learn about how sound is made, the inner workings of the ear and investigate pitch and volume.

In English we will be looking at the story ‘Leon and the Place Between’. We will be revising how to punctuate speech and how to write an effective setting description.

In Maths, we are learning about place value. We will be looking at numbers to 10,000and 1,000,000! We will be practising our times tables and playing lots of fun Maths games.
