Holiday Homework....

Please complete your Science project and write up your investigation ready to present during Science Week, which will be the second week back after half term. Mathletics has also been set.

Our topic after the holidays will be 'The Romans' and we will also have a week in which we look at an aspect of London's history in detail. Can you find out what impact the Romans had on our capital city? What did they call London? What did they build and how did they live? Let us know what you find out on the blog.

Have a lovely break!

Your homework this week is to begin thinking about what your Science project could be. You can research anything you like. Come up with your own question and plan an investigation for it.

Hampton Court Palace Visit

We are all looking forward to our trip to Hampton Court Palace on Monday, 11th May.

A big thank you to all the parents that have kindly volunteered to help- we couldn't do it without you.

Please make sure you are on time to school on Monday and are wearing school uniform and comfortable shoes. Please do check the weather forecast and bring a waterproof if necessary.

You will need to carry everything that you bring with you, so we suggest that a lunch is packed in a plastic bag so that it can be thrown away once consumed.

See you on Monday!
