Here are some important websites you will need access to during the term:
ENGLISH
During this half term, the children will be developing their writing through reading and exploring a book called 'Shackleton's Journey'.
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.
As the plane crashes into the canopy, Fred is suddenly left without a choice. He and the three other children may be alive, but the jungle is a vast, untamed place. With no hope of rescue, the chance of getting home feels impossibly small.
Except, it seems, someone has been there before them…
During this half term you will be completing activities covering all areas of maths s you prepare for SATs. Our White Rose Maths learning will be a focus on Geometry.
