Our Writing Focus
In English, we will start the term by writing instructions using 'How to Train your Dragon' as our stimulus. Then, we will move onto poetry, retelling and performing. Using a range of organisational devices, the children will also write their own playscript based on a dilemma of fictional Anglo-Saxon characters. Finally, we will explore Norse myths, creating a well-developed setting, characters and plot.
