Dragonfly Class Thursday 14th May

Good morning all,

So here’s today’s “throwback” to things we’ve been up to in Dragonfly Class this year…

There was a special sequence of lessons we did learning all about a very talented French scientist who kept a jar of radium by her bedside each night. Little did she realise how deadly this nightlamp would prove to be! She led medical science in a treatment for cancer and was most definitely a ‘woman who changed the world’. Have you guessed who she is yet? I remember this unit of work very fondly from autumn term where many of you were captivated by this real-life superhero’s story and produced some brilliant biographies. I’m talking, of course, about Marie Curie!

Here’s today’s learning activities:
