Y5 enjoyed using hot seating to help explore how Oliver Twist felt writing a letter to Mr Bumble to try and persuade him to treat the orphans better.

Year 1 have had a busy week, developing their ideas before they write about the story The Little Red Elf. The children have created their own story planning maps, developed actions for the story and used freeze frame drama techniques to understand what the characters are doing and feeling.

Year 1 have completed their alternative Handa's Surprise stories this week. They worked hard to make changes to the animals, fruits and vegetables that we would have in this country. They were also able to use adjectives effectively to describe the animals and fruits and bring a clear picture to the readers minds. The children also then rehearsed and performed their sentences to the class!

Y5 have produced some fabulous reports on the circus including using our new writing skill of parenthesis.  Well done everyone :)
