This week we have been learning all about Sea Turtles. We have researched why they are endangered and thought about what we can do to save them. Here are some videos of our learning!

The children have been working hard completing a piece of non-fiction writing all about meerkats. I was so impressed with the children's knowledge at the start of the week and they have been able to apply their learning from previous weeks which is a skill we are building up to. I think you'll agree, the children have done an amazing job so far and we cannot wait to see thier final piece when they bring everything together!

Today the children were asked to think about Sunny (the main character in Meerkat Mail) and think of all the reasons that he might want to leave his family for his great adventure. Some great ideas from younger meerkat's spitting whilst eating beetle larvae to mum never telling the tiny tearaways off and always blaming Sunny. Here are a couple of my favourite pieces.
