Out at Sea

This half term we are setting sail and exploring what is out at sea.
We are going to be diving into the sea and exploring what we can see and we will be learning about the different marine creatures and habitats.
We will also be going back in time and looking at how pirates explored the seven seas and we will also be looking at pirate ships and their features.
We also have an exciting trip planned on Monday 18^th June to Bristol Aquarium where we will be going on a guided tour to see and learn about the different marine life that live in the different oceans around the world.

Chicks

We were lucky enough to have had 10 chicks born in our class last term. We all enjoyed watching them hatch, grow, help care for them as well as having a little stroke!
