For the final week of History this term we have reflected on the importance of the Roman Empire and its impact on Britain.
We worked hard researching further information and produced a double page spread.

Paired Reading with Y1
We had lots of fun with Year 1 today. We shared books and got to know each other better.
World Book Day
We celebrate the joy of books, authors and reading for pleasure in our world book week.
Today we joined, Ben Shires and Konnie Huq live from Batley Library in West Yorkshire. We explored genre, characters and storytelling with amazing authors including Michael Rosen and Katie and Kevin Tsang.
Paired Reading in ERIC
It was great fun sharing and reading together our favourite books.
Building a character
We were very lucky today, Teresa Heapy (a real life author of several children’s books) shared the writing process with us.
We also had the chance to have a go at creating our own character.
Reading Aloud
It’s the final week before half term. We reflected on our work and had a go at reading our own work aloud using good volume, intonation and fluency.

Harriet Tubman
In English we have been writing our own non-chronological report based on Harriet Tubman.
We have written it in similar style to the book, “Children who changed the world”
We paid attention to the layout, language used in the text, formatting of headings and subheadings and the use of pictures and captions.
Children who changed the world
in English we have now finished publishing our own chapter for the Miraculous adventures of Edward Tulane.
This week we immersed ourselves in our new factual class reader. Children who changed the world.
Confidence in Reading aloud!
Isla personally requested if she could be allowed to read aloud her own work for the blog! Well, why not?! At break time, Isla had a go at reading out the letter she wrote. (Based on our class reader). Well done, you really worked on your intonation.
Creative Settings
We’re going to be writing our own version of Edward Tulanes Miraculous Adventure.
Today we were creative, thinking about the setting description for the memorable event. We talked about the writing process and how writers may have several thoughts before they choose their final one.
Handwriting and grammar
This half term we really want to excel in our journey for better handwriting and presentation. Today we concentrated on our joins and recapped taught grammar.
