Hi again,

We have had a busy week, learning all about Great Britain.  We have been learning how to use timetables to travel around Britain and finding out why this will be a very useful skill for us as we grow up. We tried to estimate how long different lengths of time actually were.  Not always easy to do!

As part of our topic, we looked at how the Government encouraged immigration into Britain to help increase our workforce after the Second World War and we learned about the diversity of the different races of people who make up Great Britain. Lenny reminded us that it made us think about our “Moral Code” and how we need to work together and get on.

We’ve worked hard in literacy.  We’re enjoying the genre of our new reading books about myths and legends.  In our comprehension tasks, we’ve been thinking hard about unfamiliar vocabulary and expressions and trying to work out their meanings using clues from the stories.

On Friday, we learned a German song which we hope to perform to you at the European Day of Languages Assembly on 26th September.

Thanks to Laura for starting to type up our Blog this week and to everyone for sharing their learning.

Have a great holiday weekend!
