We spent the morning exploring the natural habitat in our school. First we thought about the types of habitats that we have in our natural space then we went off searching for living things (in particular, animals).
We found lots of slugs, snails and wood lice under various logs. When a group aproached the pond, they excitedly found frogspawn.
After, we worked in teams to create a civilisation for the insects that we had found.
Perseverance was shown when they came up with challenges to make shelters stand up.
By exploring we found out more about the plants in this area and wondered if they were are crop what the different parts could be used for.
The inside of the crops stems were soft foam like interior. We questioned what it could be used for? Have you got any ideas?
Sentence improving was started as a task for independent learning, by Miss Conner. It’s very fun and it’s on the must do list.

Can you tell how Varjak is feeling in this sentence below?
As the moon reflected on the wet street, Varjak shivered. He plodded along in the darkness. His ears pricked. Eyes searching in to the distance for food.
Most of us started practising our spellings for the week… Here they are. How many times can you find these words in the books, posters and magazines that you read this week?
Comment below with a sentence including one or more of these words and receive a house point.
You will also notice some words to the right, ending in ly. This is our spelling pattern that we are looking at this week. We are learning what happens to the ending of these words when ly is added.
Can you think of more words that end in ly?
