The children were full of curiosity and asked fantastic questions throughout the day.
Writing
In writing, we have learnt all about fronted adverbials. We recognised how they add extra information to our sentences by telling us either - time, manner or place. We then organised them into these groups working as a team and ensuring we could explain our ideas.

A huge thank you to our visitors for sharing their experiences, and to the children for their curiosity and excitement about the future!
