Home learning for Friday 21st November 2025

Happy Friday! 

We have had another lovely week in school learning about dragons and we have started to make our dragon machines! Thank you very much for sending in boxes for this! 

If you have any crafty items that you are happy for the children to use to decorate their dragon machine, please send them in next week as we continue to decorate our machines. 


Here are your home learning activities for this week...

This week's task

In our Computing lessons we have been learning about algorithms. We have done this with the Beebots, but algorithms can be given in lots of different ways! Watch this short video to remind yourself about what an algorithm is...
