Our core texts this half term are 'What a waste' by Jess French and '10 things I can do to help my world' by Melanie Walsh. 

We have been learning about the life and work of David Attenborough and why he is important. We found out that he is a famous broadcaster and naturalist who has spent many years exploring the natural world and sharing it with people through wildlife programmes such as Planet Earth and Blue Planet. We learned how his documentaries show animals and habitats from around the world and help people understand how amazing nature is. We also talked about how he encourages everyone to look after our planet and protect wildlife for the future.

As part of our topic this half term we have been learning about the impact that litter has on the environment. In geography we looked at aerial maps of our local area looking for at different street names and human features. We then discussed where we thought the most litter would be. We then conducted a fieldwork study and went on a local walk to pick litter and find the street with the most litter. We were very disappointed to see the amount of litter on streets so close to our school. 

In our English learning, we have been learning to use question marks and exclamation marks. We looked at pictures of the litter in Nelson and wrote questions we would like answering about the litter.
