Goodnight Mister Tom

Our class reading book during our topic has been Goodnight Mr Tom. We are reading this during our Reading lessons and at the end of the day.

Christmas Truce 1914 | Sainsbury's Advert

We wrote a historical narrative based on The Christmas Truce of 1914. We applied our learning on figurative language in our poetry topic and focussed on integrating dialogue to convey character and advance the action.

Dulce Et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen

Our topic for the Spring Term is the World Wars and we have been studying the figurative language used in the poem Dulce Et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen

THE WALK

In English we have been looking at the daring act of Phillippe Petit who walked between the Twin Towers in 1974 on a tight-rope!

The Man Who Walked Between the Towers by Mordicai Gerstein (Author, Illustrator)

The story of a daring tightrope walk between skyscrapers. In 1974, French aerialist Philippe Petit threw a tightrope between the two towers of the World Trade Center and spent an hour walking, dancing, and performing high-wire tricks a quarter mile in the sky. We have studied this book with the purpose of writing a news report of the event and a biography all about Petit's life.
