What makes a great speech? As the final part of our expedition draws to a close, the children have been rehearsing and crafting ideas for a motivational speech. They are imagining that they are Ernest Shackleton, having had to rally the crew following the dramatic sinking of their ship – Endurance.

In other areas, pupils have started to hone their racket skills, where they played against each other in a series of tennis matches. We are looking forward to getting our hands on the new rackets that await us in the PE store, and we will use these to develop our ‘Murray’ forehands!

Maths has taken the shape of fine-tuning our arithmetic fluency and seeing and applying these within a range of problem-solving contexts.

Enjoy your long weekend!
