We've had a busy week as usual in Explorers with the year 6s taking part in a mock SATs week, the school carol concert on Tuesday and the choir carol concert on Thursday! In the brief period between rehearsals, Cook and Shackleton been busy writing independent diaries based of Olive's Army and completing work on fractions whilst Beagle have finished reading Rose Blanche and thinking about the power of illustrations and how a picture can tell a thousand words. Beagle have been practicing using coin multiplicatoin to solve 2d x 2d multiplications and the whole phase have been exploring materials during topic. 

Next week, we'll all be taking part in RE week, answering the question "Does belief in the Trinity help Christians make better sense of God as a whole?" as we celebrate our Christmas spirit.
