In English we have been writing conversation poems which have an opposing point of view. We read a poem about St George and his donkey, in which George boasts of his brave deeds and his donkey gives a more truthful, and not quite as awe-inspiring, version. Everybody produced some brilliant, and very hilarious, conversations. Would...Read More
In Class 5 this week we have been learning about how fossils are formed and about the famous fossil-hunter, Mary Anning, who discovered an Ichthyosaur (can you remember what this name meant?).
