World Knowledge

Our World knowledge topic this half term is based on the question " Should we explore beyond our own home?" we will be thinking about what would be different about our lives if people had never set off on explorations. 

English

This half term, we are flooking at a fabulous book by Sandra Deichmann called "Leaf" The story is based on a journey and exploring different environments. We will also be focusing on grammar and different types of sentences. Try some of the websites listed below to help you.
