This morning in English,  Year 5 have been immersing themselves in the invaluable heritage of tales from Greek myths and legends that are filled with envious gods, courageous heroes and epic adventures to hook them into our new unit of English work: creating a Greek mythical story.

In English this week Year 1 have been learning the signifiers for their new story ‘Little Red Riding Hood’.

We read the story as a class before learning the signifiers. The children then practiced in their groups before performing them to each other. We can’t wait to explore the story further next week!

Year 2 have started their new fiction unit this week; The Star Maker’s Apprentice. To immerse themselves in the story. The children learned the signifiers for the story and used them to retell the story.

Then they drew story maps and acted out the story!

Year 5 are enjoying their new English unit, The Little Freak.

In yesterday’s lesson, we focused on internal monologues to understand why they are a useful tool for the audience. We hot seated children as the boy from The Little Freak film and other children generated questions to ask him.

The children then worked in pairs to generate vocabulary that could be useful in a monologue for the little boy. This work will be a useful tool for today’s English lesson when the children write a monologue from The Little Freak.

On Friday, Year 5 created a shared (with partners) newspaper report introduction, including the 5Ws – who, what, where, when, why. We are really enjoying our English unit about the ‘Titanium’ music video. Miss Mead is so impressed by all the hard work and determination we put into our writing!
