Year 6 have begun their new English topic this week, based on “Goodnight Mister Tom”. The children watched the beginning of the film adaptation as a “hook” into their learning, which they really enjoyed. They then looked at vocabulary linked to the book and the topic, which they then placed onto a Zone of Relevance. This was all then linked to their grammar work on expanded noun phrases and how they make writing more effective for the reader. The children are also going to be linking their English work with their History unit on WWII. In a few weeks they will be visiting the Imperial War Museum in London too to learn more.
