Year 4K found the features of non-chronological reports. We highlighted both structural and language features, learning a little about some fascinating Stone Age animals along the way! #EnglishatWelbeck

Year 2K looked at rhythm and rhyme in poetry to celebrate #NationalPoetryDay! We had great fun learning a noisy, stomping, clapping playground rhyme with a partner! #EnglishatWelbeck

This year, #NationalPoetryDay fell on the same day as Year 4K’s Stone Age experience day. So, to mark both occasions, we took turns reading Stone Age poems aloud to the rest of the class! #EnglishatWelbeck #OracyatWelbeck

In English, Year 6/5 have been writing persuasive speeches telling people to dig for victory! Since it is #NationalPoetryDay , we even managed to include some rhyming catchphrases to persuade the audience even more!🪏

My Home. Noting down ideas and key vocabulary. Each table focused on a different room in our house. The children visited each table, choosing key vocabulary and discussed appropriate adjectives to describe them. #EnglishAtWelbeck

Y6W have been working together to categorise examples of figurative language to inspire ideas for their own descriptive writing this week. We identified similes, metaphors and personification. Tomorrow we will write about a scene from the Blitz. #EnglishatWelbeck

Some Oscar worthy performances in Year 4K this morning! 🎭We prepared for writing a diary entry by acting out the ‘Feast of the Urks’ from our class book ‘Oi Caveboy!’ We showed our emotions by using facial expressions, body language and an expressive tone of voice. #EnglishatWelbeck #DramaatWelbeck
