Easter is here!

Easter is here and we say goodbye to our Explorers topic. What a lot we have all learnt this term! We have all been working really hard. Please find below details of the homework for the Easter period. During the Summer term we will be looking at the topic the 'Sensational Seaside' which explores the differences between seaside holidays now and in the past. We will be using the text Katie Morag to look at what an island is and exploring how where we live is different from where Katie Morag lives on the isle of Struay.

We are back to school on Tuesday 26th April at the usual time. Have a lovely Easter break everyone! Mr. Merchant
