Half term is in sight but the children have still been working really hard on their work in class. In our English lessons we have been imagining what London would have been like in the 17th century. We watched a video simulation to help us picture it more clearly. You…
This week we have continued to write our descriptions about a lovely winter village scene, making sure that we were responding to any feedback we had been given. We then started to use the ideas in our character and setting descriptions to write a Supersprout story. First of all we…

This week we have continued writing our stories about Paddington Bear. We have particularly focussed on how we can improve our sentences by adding adjectives and adverbs. We know that an adjective describes a noun and an adverb describes a verb. We know that an adverb or adverbial phrase can…
