In science we`ve being doing friction its one of our brand new topics and we find it a bit hard but if we keep working them im sure we will get there soon.Another new subject was Ancient Egypt in our topic lesson, we did some research about where it was and why so many people go there for a holiday? At the end of this week Violet got the Certificate well done Violet!!
