Computing
Today we practiced our typing skills to type facts about rivers using the vocabulary that we learnt last week. We also learnt how to save a file and how to correctly and safely log off and shut down a laptop.
Snipedales
We started our new topic with a trip to Snipedales to explore the river. We learnt lots about the different parts of a river and what happens on a rivers journey. We also went in to the river to see what animals we could find in there.
