Class novel

 

 

We have now finished Once by Morris Gleitzman and the class enjoyed it so much that they requested the next book in the series: Then. 

 

We will read this book until half term and then I will pass it on to one of the children to read before we start a new book after half term.

There is a new homework grid for the autumn term. These activities are all linked to our history topic of WWII. 

You need to choose seven activities from the grid supplied. Click here for the details. You will be expected to complete an activity per week! 

Your weekly homework needs to be handed in on Wednesdays. We will then share homework in class.
