This week’s writer of the week goes to Kat for writing a detailed and well-punctuated balanced argument linked to our topic. We were discussing the pros and cons of evacuation during the war and Kat has shown her flare for the topic in this piece of writing. Well done, Kat!
Well done to Felicity for returning to school after the Christmas Holidays with a fantastic attitude towards her work. This week we focused on a setting description of a war scene, using a video on Literacy Shed. See below an extract of Felicity’s work, notice the fantastic vocabulary choices for effect:

We kicked off the Spring Term with our Memorable experience-making Anderson Shelters! They were used during WW2 to protect people from the Blitz.

In year 6, we kicked off our topic of ‘A Child’s War’ by looking at Anderson shelters. The children worked in pairs to construct their shelter by carefully planning their ideas beforehand.
