Grow, Persevere, Succeed. Be the best you can be!
Our topic this term is Land Ahoy!
We will be learning about life on board a ship, pirates, Captain Cook, Grace Darling and the work of seascape artists like J M W Turner and Hokusai.
We can't wait.
At home you could have a look at these useful websites to find out more about Grace Darling and Captain Cook

At the Historic Quay we went on a tour of the Trincomalee, we found out about life on a ship by taking part in a workshop called 'All Hands on Deck' where we learnt how to make knots in rope, dressed as pirates and sailors, learned about the food and different objects found on ships in the past.
What a fabulous day!
