In English we will be reading the book, 'Shackleton's Journey' by William Grill. 
 
Shackleton's Journey is a unique visual re-telling Ernest Shackleton's landmark expedition crossing the Antarctic from one pole to the other. William Grill's impeccably researched and informative illustrations celebrate the 100th anniversary since the historic exploration by Shackleton and his crew on Endurance. Children will love exploring Grill's exploded diagrams and the fascinating details of this landmark voyage.
 
From this book, the children will complete a range of writing outcomes including a diary, an argument and a non-chronological report in order to build up a portfolio.

In Shared Reading, we are continuing our reading of the book, 'The London Eye Mystery' by Siobhan Dowd.

SCIENCE

 

Our Science theme this term is Evolution & Inheritance. In this unit, children will investigate the works of Charles Darwin and investigate how living things have changed over time and that fossils provide information about living things that inhabited the Earth millions of years ago. They will have had the opportunity to make a visit to a Natural History museum and they will have constructed a geological timeline.
