This week, we undertook our termly assessments. The children took on all aspects with great resilience and perseverance. I have been really impressed with the progress the children have been making.

In Reading, we looked at a variety of non-fiction texts and answered a series of retrieval questions that allowed us to skim the text to find the answers. Once, we had finished our reading lessons we magpied any great vocabulary that we can then use in our own writing.

During our Geography learning, we started by looking at different biomes. We focussed more closely on the ocean biome. We looked at the different layers the ocean is split into. We watched short Blue Planet clips and tried to guess which section the action was taking place.

On Thursday, we made their night lights using the glass jars the children brought in. We had great fun bringing our designs to life and pushing our creativity. We were all really impressed with our night lights and we all can’t wait to test them out at home.
