In English today, Year 2/1 orally rehearsed their plans, ready to write their informal letters tomorrow. #EnglishAtWelbeck #OracyAtWelbeck

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!🪏
