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 weird and wonderful human body through the incredible book Kay's Anatomy by Adam Kay.

  "The human body is extraordinary and fascinating and, well . . . pretty weird. Yours is weird, mine is weird, your maths teacher's is even weirder.

This book is going to tell you what's actually going on in there, and answer the really important questions, like:
Are bogeys safe to eat?
Look, if your nose is going to all that effort of creating a snack, the least we can do is check out its nutritional value. (Yes, they're safe. Chew away!)
And how much of your life will you spend on the toilet?
About a year - so bring a good book. (I recommend this one.)
So sit back, relax, put on some rubber gloves, and let a doctor take you on a poo (and puke) filled tour of your insides. Welcome to Kay's Anatomy*.

*a fancy word for your body. See, you're learning already."
