In DT, we have chopped and prepared different vegetables, and then planned, made and cooked summer season tarts. Some of us added chillies... not Mrs B!

We finished our Shackleton work in English with stained-paper letters home, written as part of the crew. We then performed a drama piece in the Harvest service. We also studied map reading in Geography and plotted Shackleton's Journey to Antarctica, using grid references.

During our English lessons, we have been working on setting descriptions based on the text Jumanji. We entered our learning into an AI tool to generate images to match our work.

In Maths, the class have worked really hard on addition and subtraction and thoroughly enjoyed Mathletics time to hone our skills, as well as timestable focus.
