Happy New Year!

It has been great to welcome the children back into school this week and lots of learning has happened. 

This week, the children have started our new class text ‘Holes’ and the first two chapters already have us all hooked. We are looking forward to reading more next week!

In English, our focus for the next three weeks will be newspaper reports. To start this unit, Leaders explored the features of a newspaper report before learning how to write an effective newspaper introduction. On Friday, we were joined by Hope Whitby and we are looking forward to using our journalistic skills to report on this over the next few weeks. Look out for our reports soon!

It looks set to be a busy term with lots happening. Make sure to check out the Leaders Curriculum Map which has been included in this week’s newsletter to find out more about what we will be learning about this term.
