Reading – please record daily reading in reading records.
Spelling tests – lists will be given out by the end of this week. No test the first Friday back (we aren’t that mean!).
Stationary – we don’t need anything brought in from home. We have everything pupils will need here ready.

Shackleton's Journey is the true story of how Ernest Shackleton and his crew survived an epic adventure. Stranded in a cold, white world, thousands of miles from home, they trekked across the ice in search of rescue. Shackleton sailed 800 miles to South Georgia in a whale boat, then made the first crossing of the island to seek aid. The crew escaped by camping on the sea ice, launching lifeboats to reach Elephant Island, and ultimately reaching South Georgia after a stormy ocean voyage.
