When we came back after Christmas we had two lovely surprises.
Firstly we had a letter from Downing Street thanking us for our “excellent” letters about the Lagoon. Secondly Mrs Peters came to announce that we had jointly won the video competition for the Love the Lagoon competition and that our prize was a free trip to Go Air. We have since had a second letter from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. Unfortunately this was quite difficult for the children to understand but gist of it was that the building of the Lagoon is a complex issue and a decision will be made in due course.
Since then we have been working very hard on:
fractions and decimals
writing stories and poems
learning about recycling
carrying out investigations into dissolving
Making soup as part of instruction writing
Taking part in creative movement as part of PE
Swimming
Learning about LA and Hollywood
I’ve been really impressed with the children who are making a huge afford with their homework at the moment.
