Week 2

On Thursday 5th March, it was World Book Day. We took part in lots of book-related activities and dressed up as some of our favourite book characters for the day. We also learnt about our chosen author, Hannah Gold and recreated the front cover of 'The Last Bear' and included some facts about her. 

Week 1:

In English this half term, Year 5 are exploring finding tales-  stories where characters discover something unusual or unexpected. To immerse ourselves in this exciting narrative genre, we took part in a range of drama activities including 'placing the prop', 'reading the picture', 'teacher as narrator' and 'hot-seating'. These activities helped us step into the characters’ shoes, explore emotions and build rich ideas for our own writing. We had a brilliant time using our imagination and cannot wait to begin writing our own finding tales!
