We can't believe it is the Summer term already! This term we will be learning all about life in the Amazon rainforest and thinking about issues such as deforestation. To inspire our learning, we are reading a fantastic text called 'Journey to the River Sea' by Eva Ibbotson. We will be creating some 'Rainforest' inspired art work too!

Last week, as part of our journey to become a School of Sanctuary, year 5 were lucky enough to have a visit from a gentleman, named Karma, who was a refugee from Tibet. Our year 5 pupils interviewed Karma and were enthralled by is amazing story; how he left his home at just 12 years of age and travelled alone for 3 months with only a few belongings. The children asked mature questions in a very sensitive manner and showed incredible empathy. What a fantastic opportunity for our pupils!

Reading Rewards continue this term so please encourage your child to read a minimum of three times per week and record their home reading in their reading record books. Don't forget about Bug Club! 18 stickers are needed this term to qualify.
