English

This term we shall be delving into the depths of the ocean, through our incredible Non-Fiction book Oceanarium by Teagan White and Loveday Trinick. We shall have the opportunity to discover new and exciting underwater creatures where we shall then carry out our own research to create some fantastic nonchronological reports on them. We shall also be inspired by Loveday’s illustrations and use water colours to illustrate our reports mimicking her style.

"Welcome to the museum that is always open to explore...

Step inside the pages of Oceanarium to enjoy the experience of a museum from the comfort of your own home. This stunning offering from the Welcome to the Museum series guides readers around the world's oceans, from sandy shorelines to the deepest depths. Get up close and personal with giant whale sharks, tiny tropical fish, majestic manatees and so much more, travel the world from frozen Arctic seas to shimmering coral reefs, and learn why it is so important that we protect our oceans.”

For our class reader we shall delving into the incredible flooded world of 'Floodland' by Marcus Sedgewick! 

"Imagine that a few years from now England is covered by water, and Norwich is an island.

Zoe, left behind in the confusion when her parents escaped, survives there as best she can. Alone and desperate among marauding gangs, she manages to dig a derelict boat out of the mud and gets away to Eels Island. But Eels Island, whose raggle-taggle inhabitants are dominated by the strange boy Dooby, is full of danger too.

The belief that she will one day find her parents spurs Zoe on to a dramatic escape in a story of courage and determination that is handled with warmth and humanity."
