Whilst studying different poetry skills this week, we have looked at the use of similes and ,metaphors. We had a go at describing ourselves using these 2 skills. Can you guess which child each short poem is describing? 

The children have worked together in French to write their weather report. They chose a city from the map of France and used a model to prepare their weather forecast, practising the weather expressions they have been learning this half term. Super work, Bon travail!

This afternoon the children explored the properties different materials to determine which would be best to block out light from the sun, on a nasa rocket.
