This week, the children have continued to work hard across the curriculum, and we are very proud of their efforts:
English
The children completed a range of Grammar and Punctuation tasks, supporting their ongoing writing development and providing valuable retrieval practice in preparation for Year 6 SATs.

Computing
In Computing, the children became travel agents, using their understanding of databases to search for flights and holidays. This was an engaging way to apply their learning in a practical context.
