Week beginning 28-4-14

This week we begin our exciting new Deep in Space topic. There will be a real cross curricular approach with virtually the whole curriculum being taught through the subject. For example, this week in Literacy, we will be blasting off  with a persuasive radio advertisement for a trip into space, and we will be creating (avatar) characters to use in our Space adventure writing.
