Year 6 Newsletter

This week in Year 6 we have introduced our new English unit- news reports. The children began the week by exploring a range of news reports to identify key features of structure and language within the texts. We were then able to identify what makes a good newspaper article. From our analysis, we have started to write our own front page stories. Based on our guided reading book, the Boy in the Tower, the children have been journalists reporting on the strange occurrences that take place in the story; many of them have added their own sensational twists.

Next week is filled with exciting activities including our topic drama workshop, learning about the Parthenon Marbles from Ancient Greece and World Book Day! Keep your eyes peeled for more blogs to see what we're up to!
