    Explorers Weekly Reflect and Review

    20 January 2023 (by Zoe Goodin (ZoeG))

    This week in Explorers we have continued our earthquake and tsunami topic and have had also participated in a Shakespeare workshop.

    In English this week we have started our new focus which is based on the book Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo. In Maths we have been learning about fractions, decimals and percentages. In Topic, we have been focusing on the geography of Japan, looking at different maps and statistics to draw conclusion about life in Japan.
