The clear highlight was karate day on Thursday. In English we are continuing with our biography writing, researching the innovative Isaac Newton (favourite fact so far was his dog set his laboratory on fire destroying 20 years of research).

Dancing continued with Mr Riley in P.E with some stand out performances and we continue to explore the issues of climate change in our new Go Zero lessons. Finally, this week our Art unit has begun with the children sketching ancient Indus Valley jewellery.
