This week the Shark class have been using descriptive writing to create tension and atmosphere around Shackleton's journey to Antarctica. We have used relative clauses, personification, similes and metaphors, plus an element of 'show don't tell' to evoke a sense of panic and fear. Finnley S completed his work using the checklist and colour-coded these elements afterwards.
Here is a double page spread by Eshan, showing his knowledge of our Science topic on evolution and inheritance.
Ava J.created a wonderful pen profile based on a suffragette she had researched.
