Today, Miss Grundy and Miss Sentance have seen some fantastic work! It's so lovely to hear about everything you're getting up to, how hard you're working and the fun you're having. Special mention today goes to Aaruthura (4V) for her beautiful acrostic Spring poem and to Joseph (4U) for his Scientific Enquiry and use of excel to present his results. 

1. What two things does the boat do during the storm? p.13 rolled and heaved

3. What does 'Look lively!' mean? p.14 Go or move quickly
4. What is a mast? p.14 A tall post on a ship that holds the sail.
5. Why did the young sailor have to climb the mast? Give two reasons. p.14 - The sail needed to be cut free and untangled - The other sailors were too drunk or scared.
