Friday -  Spellings and Homework - Children will be tested on their weekly spellings throughout the week and there will be no traditional spelling test on a Thursday. New spellings will be given out, when a new writing topic is started. Spellings are still available in planners and Spelling Shed. Homework will be uploaded to Seesaw or handed out in class, which will need to be completed by the following Friday. 

Autumn 1 - The Vikings have Landed!

Our first topic back this academic year was all about The Vikings. We explored how people lived in this era by looking at different artefacts from this time and comparing them to modern day Britain. Morpurgo class also created a Viking bag; explored different Viking sagas and we placed events in chronological order. It was a mighty half term!

Autumn 2  - The Rainforest of the Amazing Amazon!

Our Autumn 2 topic was all about the Amazon Rainforest. We explored the climate; different types of habitat and animals that live there and we discussed the similarities and differences between the rainforest and British forests. It was another exciting topic for us to delve into! 

Spring 1 - Chinese Culture!

Welcome back to school for our first topic in the Spring term! Did you know, that Chinese New Year falls on 22nd January this year and it is a perfect time for us to explore all things China. We are looking forward to exploring the geographical features of an exciting country, as well as learning about the food, language and population. Keep checking back for a few pictures of our wonderful Chinese adventure!
