Today we were so lucky to be visited by the author Tom Palmer. We are currently reading one of his books - Ghost Stadium- in guided reading as part of our mystery unit. We asked Tom lots of questions and found out all about being an author. We found out that it took Tom 20 years to get his first book published and he gave us this inspirational message : if you really want something keep trying.
We transferred the caterpillars to their new habitat so they can continue to grow inside their chrysalides. Watch this space!
Today we found out about the Muslim festival of Ramadan. We compared the festival to the Jewish festival of Yom Kippur. We also drew our own Islamic repeating patterns.
