In English next week we will be focusing our work on the book series The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch. We will focus on The Lighthouse Keeper’s Catastrophe and will read the story, getting to know the main characters and the setting. We will describe these using adjectives, the power of three and similes and will put our amazing ideas into beautifully presented sentences. Next week we will be adapting the story and planning and writing our own catastrophes for the lighthouse keeper.

As a challenge, we will put this into practise by solving problems involving the passing of time. If your child has a watch at home and would like to wear this to school to help them develop their time telling skills then please feel free to do so!
In History we will be learning about famous pirates throughout history, starting with Blackbeard. We will research him and find out why he was the most feared pirate of all!
