Week commencing 22.02.2021
Hello Fox Class,
I hope you have had a lovely half-term break. We need to be stay at home superheroes for a little longer but we are now in Term 4! I am incredibly proud of how well you have adapted to remote learning.
Our enquiry question for this term is ‘How does water affect communities?’ and I am really looking forward to our learning journey this term! Through our learning this term, we will gain a good understanding of Boston and how it fits into the world. We will be focussing on the human and physical features of our local area, looking at the significance of the Boston Flood Barrier and comparing features with Venice in Italy. While we will be focussing on flooding, we will also be exploring droughts, tsunamis and earthquakes.
I have bookings appointments available every morning between 10:30 and 11:00 to listen to you read at home and bookings appointments available every afternoon between 2:00-3:00 for weekly catch-ups with you.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Mrs Davies 😊
