Creative English 

We are working hard to be come better writers, this includes the quality of our sentences as well as starting to join our letters with cursive handwriting. We are very lucky to use a selection of quality texts, fiction and non-fiction, in our English lessons. Writing tasks include story retelling, letters, descriptions, recipes and fact files.  Below are some of the front covers of the books we will be reading in class. 

Our Science Topics 

Science is one of our favourite afternoons! We enjoy practical, hands on science and we learn the different areas of science in some exciting topics. Some of our topics are also linked to a Scientist.
