Good afternoon,

It has been another busy week in LKS2. The children continued to practice writing setting descriptions in English, this time including prepositions in their work. The children are building up som lovely vocabulary banks that they will be able to apply to descriptive writing. In Geography the children looked at why people would choose to live in urban areas. The children finished their fact files about different rocks in Science. They enjoyed using the chromebooks for this.
