We finished our class book, Leila and the Blue Fox, today and thought it was right to wave her off, whilst enjoying the main character’s favourite sweet – a Werther’s Original. We have dabbled in different styles of writing this week, using descriptive techniques such as personification, similes and metaphors and everyone enjoyed writing a ‘tweet’ using the passive voice to help Leila spread the word about her mum’s unjustified detention by the Canadian authorities.
In topic lessons, we have been learning Propaganda and how it was used in World War 2 to spread important messages about safety, food shortages and staying positive. The children created their own versions of war propaganda, which we hope to display in the coming weeks.
Continuing with our topic of light, this week, the children investigated and made their own periscopes, using card and mirrors. They then set about investigating what they could (and couldn’t) see with them. See pictures below.
