Guys and Dolls

Year 2

This week year 2 had a visit from Anne Wan, a local author, this week. She has written a book called “Manners Fit for the Queen.” This fits with our current topic called “What would you do if you were royal for a day.”

Anne, along with her puppet Isobel, read us the story, shared some insight in to how she went about writing it and getting inspiration and gave some tips to budding authors in the class.

Anne also shared how she wrote to the Queen and sent her book, there is a very formal way of writing to the Queen and we all felt inspired to have a go ourselves at the end of this topic. Maybe we will get a letter back from Her Majesty!

Year 5 and 6

It has been lovely to see the children all settle so well back into school after half term. Year 5 and 6 have started a new text in English this week called Black Powder, and as a hook they made their very own ‘penny for the guy.’ The children loved choosing an outfit and were able to link the work with our topic for this term - ‘Does Justice always whirl in equal measure.’ I think you can agree the guys were very creative.
