 Week 1

Our literacy lessons this week are inspired by the book

The Promise

written by  Nicola Davies and illustrated by Laura Carlin

On a mean street in a mean city, a thief tries to snatch an old woman’s bag. But she finds she can’t have it without promising something in return – to ‘plant them all’. When it turns out the bag is full of acorns, the young thief embarks on a journey that changes her own life and the lives of others for generations to come.

If you’ve had a bad hair day and it sticks straight up, well this means that your hair has been charged!

Biome in a bag 

It is a tiny environment!

We made  different biomes and changed the amount of light and
water they get. This way we could  see how plants grow in
different environments.

                           TREND SETTERS!

To mark the end of our topic, the children collected different waste materials to fashion and customize their own outfits using their artistic  skills.They used newspapers and plastic bags etc  to create trousers, skirts, dresses and hats.
