This week Class 3S have been learning about different types of shape poems. A particular favourite was calligrams, where the word is written to reflect its meaning. Here are some of the children’s great ideas both in the planning stages and the finished articles.  We had lots of fun!

In English, we've been planning, drafting, editing and improving our writing in the style of David Walliams. We used role play to develop our ideas and applied our developing understanding of how to use dialogue to portray character. 

At the end of our topic on maps and mapping the Year 5 children had a go at making board games using the skills and knowledge that they had learnt. They came up with a wide range of themes and designs which you can see in the pictures below. The children also had a chance to play each other’s games and decide which ones worked the best.

Congratulations to the following pupils who scored 19.5 or 20 out of 20 in a Spanish writing test on the topic of hobbies. They needed to create sentences with a day of the week and an activity. They have also been learning the time in Spanish.

Class 6W have been analysing poetry this week. The poems are all based around special objects. Leading on from this, the children all had their own special object they are writing a poem about using one of the poems analysed as a model.
