In 3ST, we have started Puddle the naughtiest puppy. We were looking for a new book and Sofia Cirstea had borrowed this from our class library and she LOVED it. Charlie also mentioned that it was a lovely story. Mrs Stevens and Ms Tomlinson can't wait to see what happens. Sofia and Charlie have promised to not give us any spoilers.

In 3G we can't wait to read this richly rewarding story of how to be a cat, which is a mix of humor, surprise and page-turning peril.

Fantastic Mr Fox is about a family of foxes. There are four fox children and two fox adults. Mr Fox has a very clever brain and every night he makes sure the wind is blowing towards him so he can go out and steal some dinner from the three farmers called Boggis, Bunce and Bean. Mr Fox gets into all kinds of trouble with the mean and angry farmers.

Will he manage to trick them once again?

As part of our Climate Change learning we will also be looking at the following book

In Science we have been investigating igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks and find out what they are used for in people's everyday lives. While some rocks can look spectacular, with amazing colors and fantastic shapes, most simply look like, well rocks. But a plain ordinary rock can tell an important story, if you know what to look for.

In Guided Reading we have been reading Charlie ad the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. It is  a story about a boy called Charlie Bucket and Willy Wonka, the most popular inventor in the world, who is opening the gates of his amazing chocolate factory to five lucky children. It's a prize of a lifetime! Charlie needs just one golden ticket, and here the adventure begins...

Next we are reading 'The Creakers' by Tom Fletcher...

One day, our heroine Lucy Dungston wakes up to find all the adults in her town have completely disappeared. While most of the other kids run wild, Lucy’s mind gets whirring on what’s really happened, and how she can get them back. Her own father mysteriously vanished a few months before, so she has already had a bit of a head start.

The investigations begin under her very own bed, after Lucy hears suspicious and creepy noises and discovers every child’s worst nightmare: monsters under the bed... AKA The Creakers.

In English we have been reading about non-chronological sport reports.

Looking at the sports can give us a detailed insight of what a particular sport might be,

Lyfta

We use the Lyfta articles when we are exploring the story worlds to help us undertstand what life is like there. When we used The Camel's Companion world during our science lessons - which were all about some animals having skeletons and muscles - we looked at the article called Curious Camels.
