You have given your opinions on food in Spanish and found facts on the different counties in the UK for geography. In PSHE, we have discussed the impacts of smoking and why people may be drawn in to it in the first place. You also had your final swimming session. We have also been blocking out some of the scenes for the play and participated in a STEM talk on plants today which resulted in lots of questions from you.   Next week we will begin planning and writing in English; this will be based on your Wonder artwork from this week.
