Year 6
Year 6 are reading the novel ‘Goodnight Mister Tom’. Using evidence from the text, we drew maps of Weirwold, then wrote descriptive pieces, imagining we were walking through our maps.

Year 5
Year 5 continued their improvisation topic in Drama this week! This time we had stories about destructive hot dogs, friendly zombies, Spongebob and Darth Vader. Improv allows you to become more positive, become a team player and makes you more creative!
