James did a great Pointillist painting of a 'Dino Piggy'! I love the imagination behind this picture James and good choice of colours!  Great job! Ted has been working  hard during Home Learning. I am so impressed with this Anglo-Saxon settlement! What a fantastic job!  I also really like  how creative your model of the Water Cycle is with the hanging sun and clouds! Well done Ted.  James has been working hard researching Anglo-Saxons and his cat Marli was keen to find out more too! I'm so glad you're enjoying this topic James and Marli, well done for remembering all 7 kingdoms too. Great job! Ed has been doing a brilliant job helping out at home! Well done for making your bed and doing the washing Ed! Super helper! Charlie did an amazing retelling of The Willow Pattern with his own plate story!

It was really great to see so I just thought I'd share some examples with you and say a big well done! I saw some absolutely fantastic diagrams of the Water Cycle from Tegan, Ed and Jonah. I can see how much work they put into their diagrams and I was really impressed. I also liked that they were all so different and creative! I have also seen Celia keep fit on Just Dance and it was great to see she was enjoying herself so much. It was also great to see that Finn made his own lunch and the fruit kebab looked delicious! Well done for getting out in the garden and planting some sunflower seeds too! Finally, I just wanted to upload a photo of our class display.
