Check out Year 5’s out-of-this-world non-chronological reports about moon buggies! They made their own moon buggies from junk modelling and researched technical vocabulary to inspire their writing!

We had a lovely time celebrating National Poetry Day yesterday. The children loved performing their class poems, listening to poetry in class and reading these post-it poems that cropped up around the school!

Today, Year 6 had a visit from @MichellePaver - author of our class read - Wolf Brother! She told us all about her series - Chronicles of Darkness - and her new novel Skin Taker. We loved hearing about her adventures with Inuit communities and interactions with real wolves.
