Thank you to all the pupils this half term, you have worked incredibly hard and achieved so much. You have studied how, plants grow, what influences their growth, growing conditions. You have written horror narratives and worked hard developing your understanding of fractions. Incredible work and effort.

Meanwhile, in science we have planted some seeds and are investigating if seeds need soil to grow.
Well done Class 4.
