  1. Hi year 4, it’s so great to see some of you on here already working hard. Unfortunately, the year 4 bubble has now had to close so we are back learning on here for now. Me and Miss Aluriya will be working on getting virtual school up and running for tomorrow morning. Stay safe!

    1. Well done, Lola! What a great morning. You can have a look now at one of the topic lessons at the bottom of the page if you like. Great work today!

    1. There are lots of other things to be done too unfortunately Lola! Your main focus is your learning on the virtual school, try to work your way through independently as best you can 🙂

    1. You don’t need to do anything for Goldilocks. The video is only to help you to talk you through our learning. The activity is about our text for the week, The Runaway Iceberg 🙂
