We have continued our English activities based on the Grandpa Chatterji novel this week, reflecting on the development of the character of Grandpa Leicester (by contrasting the way he is presented at the beginning and later in the story) and by improving the story episodes that we had drafted.

We started another unit of our Geography topic about the Lake District, thinking about tourism in the area. So far, we have thought about the impact of large numbers of tourists on a popular viewpoint in the National Park.

We have also done another set of maths and reading tests this week. These are based on the objectives/scheme of work for the new National Curriculum and should give us baselines which may help us judge progress during the next school year.

We had our summer Music Concert on Thursday when a large number of pupils gave very creditable performances, with children performing in various groups and our Year 6 musicians having the chance to play a solo.
