Ellen MacArthur have had a very busy week from our Library session on Monday morning until Tag Rugby on Friday afternoon! 

We researched Roald Dahl books on our focus author stand to help complete a quiz about him. We are enjoying our new reading programme called ‘Destination Reader’, this week looking at ‘clarifying’.

We are using our toolkits to help us when we do not know what a word or phrase means and our reading partners are very supportive and actively listening to us read.


In English we have been thinking about how authors use senses in their writing and in the wooded area we focussed on each of our senses before writing our short burst sentences.


Every day we work hard at becoming more fluent in maths, using different equipment to help us solve problems efficiently.


We have been exploring charcoal in our art lessons and produced some amazing work showing good concentration skills.


What a great week Ellen MacArthur! Are you ready for some more next week?
