In English we will continue to develop our comprehension skills, learn about biography writing and persuade people to come to our theme park!

Through our context we will learn about forces and we will be designing and making our own simple theme park rides using a variety of mechanisms.We will get the chance to try out park rides on our trip to Paulton's Park - I wonder how many of us will SCREAM??

Remember to read your Bug Club books and answer the questions carefully.

Don't forget to practise your Maths skills using Abacus.
