In English we have been studying the text 'Lila and the Secret of Rain'. We had a go at writing our own call and response poems to show how people who live in Kenya might feel when it rains, which is probably very different to how we feel!

PSHE 

This week we talked about what it means to 'volunteer' and the difference between this and donating. We now know that volunteering giving up your free time for no reward, whereas donating is just about giving something. 

We made posters to put around our village to ask for volunteers to come forward for our Sponsored Walk in May!
