We're a little bigger than last year's class but we've managed to squeeze into our newly decorated classroom! Mrs Tillson and Mrs Gurney are still here and we've been joined by Mrs Natriss. For our topic, we are finding out about Space and 'Going into the Unknown.' We're very excited! In maths, we are recapping our learning on place value and carrying on our learning in that. We're looking at an 'Alien Invasion' in literacy and using a pre-existing piece of text to inspire us while we write our own stories. Vikings and Anglo-Saxons are our focus in history and Malala's life story is our RE focus. In computing we will be looking at Piracy and asking ourselves, "Is it a crime?" What a busy week we have had! Mrs Tillson is delighted with our new and improved attitudes to learning and we have dived straight back in with enthusiasm. Check back here each week to see our weekly adventures. Elm class. ### Elm's first week back.
