Mrs Murton 2018 – 2019

When the children were asked to bring in photographs of where they or their families had been on holiday, I was amazed how well travelled they are!

In Literacy, we have begun reading stories which originate from Central Asia and were ‘told in tents’.  We have enjoyed listening to some and we have also had a go at sitting in our own tent (reading corner) to share and perform stories too.

Look at the homework, which the children produced, from our topic – ‘Home front Heroes’.  Fantastic!

We have had another busy week!  In Literacy, we have started reading a new text and, after some interesting predictions, we are really enjoying what we have read so far and can’t wait to find out what will happen next!  The text is ‘I was a Rat!’ by Philip Pullman.

In Maths, we are working in a…
