We had a fabulous time on Monday with Big Groove Promotions where we learned some samba drumming. We all had a go on drums and percussion and learned rhythms using phrases.

How does it go boys and girls? “I’m so hungry……..”

Ok boys and girls, this week I have decided to let you have a say in your learning!! We are going to be doing Narrative writing (story writing) and I would like you to decide on the subject. We have been learning a lot about France, Fairtrade and Science Experiments. We have also looked at famous artists and the extract from the Hobbit. I want to know what captures your imagination? What would you like to write about?

Add your suggestions below and we will have a vote on Friday! (If you want to have your say, you need to leave a comment!)
