Science- The digestive system
We started our science unit this week in quite a disgusting way; Wilf was my assistant with the demonstration.
We created story maps for the outline of our class text Escape from Pompeii by Christina Balit to help us sequence the main events in the story. After that, we retold the story in our own words.

Digging up the past (Summer 2)
The children will learn about Anglo Saxon invasions and settlements in Britain. They will discover the tools and materials that the Anglo Saxons used when building villages. The children will investigate the historical evidence that remains from Anglo Saxon settlements, including place names and artwork.
I have added the knowledge organiser for this term; we will initially be focusing on English(reading & writing) maths,topic (history/geography) & PSHCE. In maths, in addition to the areas listed, we will be revisiting some Year 3 objectives to ensure the children are really secure with them on their return to school.
