The children have shown fantastic determination over the last couple of weeks. In English, they’ve stepped into the boots of Shackleton’s crew, writing vivid diary entries from aboard the Endurance in the Atlantic Ocean. In maths, they’ve been mastering equivalent fractions and using them to compare, order, add and subtract fractions. In science, they’ve enjoyed investigating air resistance by creating and testing parachutes. Meanwhile in geography, they’ve explored different types of volcano, sparking their curiosity and generating lots of great questions.
