It has been a busy few weeks in Ellen MacArthur class. 

It has been a busy few weeks in Ellen MacArthur class. In English reading we have started a new book called ‘Goggle Eyes’. In English writing we have been busy creating our own suspense stories based on ‘The Secret Garden’. 


In Geography we have been learning about volcanoes. So far, we have learnt about where they are found, what happens when one erupts and their features. We have been able to create our own model volcanoes which at the end of the term we will make erupt! 


In science we have been learning about living things and their habitats. We went on a habitat search around the school grounds to see how many habitats we could find.
