Class 8 Learning Journey Spring 2 2021/22

Literacy

We wrote a setting description based on Dracula’s arrival in Whitby. We focussed on the use of:

• Figurative language
• Exciting sentence openers
• The five senses
• Powerful verbs and adjectives

LIRA

Our key texts this half term have been Dracula and The Lion, the Witch and the wardrobe.

We have also been reading a non-fiction text linked to our topic called ‘The buildings that made London’.

Topic

Our topic this half term, ‘From Whitby to London’, focussed on the geographical similarities and differences between the two places. We started our topic with a trip to Whitby where children observed the area and identified a variety of human and physical features.

Easter

Thank you to all the children and parents that contributed to our Easter egg competition, we had some fantastic entries!
