This week, 4K read through the playscript, Romeo and Juliet. In groups, they read and performed the roles of Romeo, Juliet, Mercutio, Tybalt and the Nurse. 

 4F acted Act 1, Scene 5 of “Romeo and Juliet” as part of their Potions topic, focusing on how language reveals a character’s emotions and relationships with others.

In spellings, 6G decided whether words were spelt -tious or -cious by deciphering what their root was and looking at the spelling rule. For example, malice- malicious.

In English, we practised using ‘Outside. (Inside.) sentences, which tell not just what a character is going but also what they’re thinking and feeling, to use in our Plague Doctor diaries.

This week, 6S enjoyed bringing in their favourite book in anticipation of ‘Bookvent’ which will take place in December. We can’t wait to see all of the children’s favourite books to celebrate our love of reading. 

In English, we read a diary entry of a 14th Century plague ‘doctor’ and identify the key language features.

Children wrote metaphorical poems comparing the plague to a witch, using figurative language. 

This week, 3E were writing their information books about the Stone age using headings, subheadings and conjunctions.
