We have started our Geography topic called ‘Let’s visit Australia!’. We knew a little bit about Australia in the past as part of our Captain Cook topic in History but, we have spent time researching this afternoon, and found out so much about what it’s like there now!

A lovely walk to the library this morning! We learned all about borrowing books and listened to some twisted fairy tales linking to our learning at school. It was lovely to have an opportunity to explore the books on the shelves too!

We have loved using the @MozaikEducation app to look at Captain Cook’s Endeavour in 3D! We used this to support our learning about life onboard ship for the crew. We have drawn the ship and labelled it’s different parts ⚓️

[Mrs Nicholls-Pickering @Mrs_NPs_Class]

We have the museum to ourselves! We’ve already looked at Cook’s early life in Middlesbrough and Whitby. Now we’re learning all about life on board his ship! ⚓️

We’re being history detectives this afternoon! Can we work out who we’re learning about and why they’re famous from the evidence?

[Mrs Nicholls-Pickering @Mrs_NPs_Class]

Problem solving in maths today. Some great confusion faces from those children deep in the learning pit! 🧐🤔🥴💡🤩🥳

We’ve been talking about trust in PSHE. What trust is, what it looks like, how you earn it, lose it and WHO we trust! Trust is 🔑

In PE, this half term, we are working on linking movements smoothly, like champion gymnasts! 🤸🏼‍♀️🤸🏿
