Gloucestershire

A typical week for Gloucestershire

Week beginning 15th April 2024

First week back and the children have really enjoyed the beginning of our new book 'The Wild Robot.' We have been introduced to the robot Roz and the otters on the mysterious island that the crates filled with robots ended up on. The children have been writing a story re-telling what has happened so far and continuing on the story with their predictions. We have also started our new Science and History topics, Ancient Civilisations and Electricity. The children have been carrying out investigations as archaeologists looking at artefacts from the Ancient Egyptian times. On a more active note, the children enjoyed a summer spot, rounders!
