Following the fun and festivities of the Christmas period it has been lovely to see the children again and return to our regular school-week routines. We have been very impressed with the way in which they have all seamlessly re-engaged with their learning.

For the Spring Term, our English unit will focus on a range of writing outcomes linked to the endeavours of Ernest Shackleton – the great polar explorer. The children will be: crafting a Job advertisement to recruit crew; writing a speech to rouse the men when at their lowest ebb; narrating the scene when the ship Endurance finally began to be taken by the sea; writing as Shackleton a letter home to his dear wife Emily. They are already showing great engagement with this new topic so we are very much looking forward to reading these pieces.

Have a relaxing weekend.
