Using the final image from our recent Power of Reading Text, 'Rose Blanche', Maddie from the Toucans has created her own watercolour of the scene with an accompanying poem. She tried hard to use personification when thinking about the image and the war theme of the text.

As part of our 'British Monarchy' topic, the Sharks have been reading 'Suffragettes' by David Roberts, and thinking about the lack of equality women have suffered throughout history, even when women have been on the throne. Auriol's work shows the editing session, which takes place after we have completed a piece of writing in Year Six. You can see some of the Year Six GPS elements, which Auriol has used effectively.
This week Year 5 have been reading the Poem From a Railway Carriage by Robert Louis Stevenson. We have created some performance poetry and discussed what it might be like to be a passenger on a steam train. Evelyn from the Wombats wrote a super letter to describe her journey.
Momina from the Armadillos has used a wide range of sentence types in her descriptive writing to build tension, develop a rich image in the reader’s mind and keep the reader hooked in. Well done Momina!
Here is a piece of work by Ziba in the Toucans from our Reading Lessons. We had been studying the life of Harriet Tubman and read a book about her from the 'Little People, Big Dreams' series. Each child was then presented with this artistic mural and had to interpret and respond to the piece. Ziba has really thought carefully about this image and used some powerful phrases to express her thoughts.
Antoni from the Sharks created a playing card with mixed media using a combination of collage, pencil, charcoal, tissue paper and paint. He included a picture of his head as a substitute for the King. The artwork is linked to our British Monarchy topic.
