In English, we have been exploring Narrative Writing. The children analysed a key text inspired by the short film Christmas Truce , identifying a range of narrative features. They were able to spot effective openers, descriptive vocabulary used to convey setting, characters, and atmosphere, as well as dialogue that revealed character and helped move the action forward. The class showed great enthusiasm when discussing how these techniques help an author create emotion and bui

In English, the children have been exploring our class book through the eyes of Ahmet. They wrote thoughtful diary entries describing how he might have felt on his very first day at school.
