Each talk was individual, very unique and completed to a very high standard!

Here are some photos of the children during their talks!

Also a big well done to Brian who completed the optional homework task of baking a cake using a World War 2 recipe!

In our topic this term we have been learning all about dinosaurs. We have been finding out facts about dinosaurs, reading and writing dinosaur stories, learning different dinosaur names, creating pictures of dinosaurs and we even created our own special dinosaur names for ourselves!

Here are some of the activities we have been enjoying in class:
