They are now putting the floor down and building the pillars so the roof doesn't cave in. There is also a car park behind it for the teachers.

The children undertook work on jungles. The children loved this topic and looked at temperature differences, animals, artwork, masks, reports and internet research.

As the SATs draw closer we are working hard in Numeracy, Literacy and Science. Please help your child by encouraging them to complete homework, eat breakfast and have a good night sleep. Children are also working on Revisewise on www.bbc.co.uk in school so if you have the internet please encourage your child to log on and do some extra revision in preparation for SATs!

We have lots to look forward to - CAMP and the production of GREASE!!!
