What a term we've had! Year 5 have learnt all about planning a story, suspense and action techniques, and been introduced to 11+-style comprehensions; Year 6 have been revising the structure of the first 15 lines of a short story and key characterisation techniques, and learnt about Sherlock Holmes and the writing of Charles Dickens. We've learnt about kinesthetic and musical learning techniques, and used podcasts and Animoto videos to share our creativity with the world! Best of all, we're beginning to connect, create and collaborate with pupils on the other side of the world!
Next half-term should be even more exciting! Year 5 will learning about writing longer descriptions, and be taking part in their first global collaborative flat classroom project - Books Go Global; Year 6 will complete their preparation for the 11+ examinations.
Year 5 holiday homework can be found here; Year 6 holiday homework here. Don't forget there are lists of 'great reads' in Bald Worm's reading lists.
Have a great holiday!
