ENGLISH - To write a recount

 We spent the morning doing a diary entry from Malala’s story - from when she gets attacked by the Taliban.

To add to the challenge of writing a diary entry, the children could choose the point of view to write from - Malala, or The Taliban member that shot her, or the bullet that hit her. Giving an inanimate object a personality was the biggest challenge. Surprisingly, or not, the majority of children chose to write from the Bullet’s point of view.

There was some incredible detail and great description as well as personalities coming through. 

Even more impressive was the fact that the wrote wrote dressed as witches, vampires, ghosts and anything they dressed as for World Book Day!

 This term the children will be studying South America. Here is a copy of their journey.  During the first part of the lesson, the children recapped the different lines of latitude and longitude they have learnt throughout key stage 2.

Once this was understood, the children identified the latitude and longitude for different places on the world map.
