We have begun our new theme for the half term which is called Buckets and Spades. As part of our English learning we are going to write our own stories set at the seaside. So, this week we have been getting ideas by reading lots of different fiction and non-fiction books with a seaside theme. The children have collected vocabulary and put it on the working wall to use over the next few weeks. 
 

Also this week the children looked closely at the fantastic, wordless, picture book called ‘Flotsam’ by David Wiesner. After lots of discussion the children practiced composing questions by writing down questions they had about different images in the book.
