For our poetry festival in March we have chosen our own poems to perform. We learned how to choose the best poem to convey expression or to add actions to. We are now practising them ready for our performances at the end of March.

World Book Day
Diamond Class celebrated World Book Day by learning dance and drama techniques to explore the book ‘Fantastic Mr Fox’ by Roald Dahl. Some pupils shared their favourite book with the class giving recommendations for why others would love to read it. The class also learned how to write a story in either 25 words or 25 sentences. The stories were very impressive.
English Expedition Story
Year 4, 5 and 6 learned the features of an adventure story and then wrote one inspired by their ‘expedition’ to Lake Mono. The volcano erupted whilst they were there! Read their stories to see what happened.
The pupils read their stories aloud to the class learning to use expression to convey the drama of the story. We all enjoyed listening to them. They were very dramatic.
English Expedition
Year 4, 5 and 6 are learning to write an adventure story this term. They are going on an expedition to Lake Mono as part of a production team and have learned about the jobs available, acted out the jobs and have learned to write a job application form.
