This week, we have finished reading our story ‘The Firework Maker’s daughter.’ We wrote a diary extract and challenged ourselves to include some tricky RAG words. We were enthused by all the new vocabulary, and were keen to use thesauruses in our writing to keep on discovering new words. We all produced some wonderful pieces of writing.

We have had lots of fun in topic.  Firstly, we have erupted our model volcanoes using vinegar and bicarbonate of soda. Then, we worked in groups to make seismometers. We learned how earthquakes are measured using these and how the findings are recorded on seismographs. Finally, we ended our Tremors topic by sharing topic homework with peers. It was lovely to see so many wonderful pieces of home learning. Thank you to all the parents for supporting your child at home with their topic homework!
