As part of our Tremors topic, we are learning about Volcanoes. We are using this to inspire our English and will be writing stories set in Pompeii during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

How will you describe the volcanic eruption?

How would you have felt if you lived in Pompeii at the time?

The award for the writer of the week goes to Natalie Turner for drafting an impressive acrostic poem on volcanoes. Her choice of words and her creative ideas makes me wonder if we have a poetess in the offing! Keep up the great work, Natalie!

Ash and Aspen have had an exciting start to the year with our new topic ‘Tremors’. As part of our memorable experience we used spaghetti and marshmallows to try and create model buildings that could withstand an earthquake! In Science we have been exploring the fascinating world of rocks and have been using this to inspire our writing in English.
