TERM 6 WEEK 5 : 25/6/25
This week in Buckinghamshire 2, we've been busy! In English, we transformed Chapter 4 of The Iron Man into exciting newspaper reports, focusing on the thrilling emergence of a dragon from a growing star. Our Maths lessons have involved creating intricate patterns with shapes and mastering directional language like clockwise and anti-clockwise to describe movement and turns. In History, we've debated who the most significant monarch was, weighing the positive and negative impacts of their reign. And finally, in Science, we delved into the fascinating life cycles of insects and butterflies.
