Literacy - Superhero origins

As a warm up to our work on how our superheroes became super, we played a matching game where we had to read an origin story and match it to the famous superhero.

This week we used our teamwork skills to decide what modes of transport we would use on an island for certain trips. Discussion and teamwork formed a very important part of this activity.
