Blogging Task due Friday 22nd January!

We Are Pirates!

This week we have been enjoying Maths week in school. Our theme was pirates so every lesson this week has had a link to both maths and pirates! We completed lots of swashbuckling activities, including making treasure maps and designing pirate ships.

Your task this week has been set by Pirate Pete....

Aye, aye me hearties. I have one last task for all you scurvy dogs. We have just docked on a new treasure island. I want you to write a description of the island, using as many interesting adjectives, similes and verbs as you can. Anyone that forgets their capital letters and full stops will be forced to walk the plank! Arghhhhh!

Happy New Year!

Hello Downing Street,

I just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year and I'm sure you have all had a lovely Christmas break which I will get to hear lots about next week. I am extremely grateful for all the Christmas cards, presents and wishes I received so thank you to all!

I would also like to remind you that the 'Homework Project' we have set you is not due in for a few weeks in order to give you time to make something amazing - just like the Science projects you completed in Year 2. Although the task is on the blog there is no need to put anything on the blog, just bring in your project on the Friday that it is due in.

Enjoy the last weekend of your holiday and I will see you all next week,

Best wishes,
Mr Goddard

We are really looking forward to seeing them!
