In Computing, we’ll dive into coding, creating our own programs and solving challenges. History takes us back to Roman Britain, uncovering fascinating stories from the past. And in DT, we’ll be designing and building pavilions, putting our creativity and engineering skills to the test.

English Immersion - Volcano Eruptions!
In English, we are reading about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii and learning what life was like when the volcano erupted. To help us use exciting and powerful vocabulary in our writing, we became volcanologists and made our own volcanoes! We used descriptive words to explain the rumbling, exploding lava and clouds of ash, just like in the story. Our classrooms has been full of creativity, curiosity, and fantastic language learning.
