English and Shared Reading

We have produced some brilliant work based on it, which has included, creating a Wanted Public Service Announcement, written our own narrative stories and completed a persuasive Real Write on who the children believe everyone should admire.

Spring 2
The text we have been focusing on in Spring 2 has been a non-fiction text called 'The History Detective Investigates: London'. It is full of factual information about London, such as, how the Tudor Londoners had fun and The Tower of London. We have enjoyed learning new facts and knowledge about our country's capital city! Take a look at our non-chronological report all about the Tower of London, and our balanced argument on who had more fun - Tudor Londoners or Londoners today?
