This week we have been really busy with our focus book The Hundred Decker Rocket by Mike Smith.
We have talked about what we would each have on our own deck on the rocket.
” I would have a bouncy castle because they are fun!”
“I would have an ice cream tree!”
Our word of the week was expedition the children have really enjoyed using this during their learning.
“An expedition is a journey.”
“When we go to the Museum we are going on a expedition.”
