Our reading extract this week is from Treasure Island. We are enjoying learning about the buccaneer Long John Silver. 

Our reading extract this week is from the book 'Wild Boy' by Rob Lloyd Jones

London, 1841. A boy covered in hair, raised as a monster, condemned to life in a travelling freak show. A boy with an extraordinary power of observation and detection. A boy accused of murder; on the run; hungry for the truth. Behold the savage spectacle of Wild Boy. Ladies and Gentlemen, take your seats. The show is about to begin!

We are looking forward to getting to know all the Year 6 pupils and getting back into the flow of Newhall life! Please be gentle with us as we get to grips with any changes and learn all your names :) 

Writing - Autumn 2

We are using the characters from 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens to help us write a persuasive letter.  After writing a letter together to Scrooge to try and persuade him to live a more fulfilling life, we are now responding to his letter where he threatened to cancel Christmas for the Crotchet family!

Writing - Autumn 1

Today we started our learning about WWII by having an 'evacuation' experience. Ten minutes in to our first lesson the bomb raid siren went off by surprise, causing us all to evacuate the room and seek shelter in another classroom. We were then briefed on what was happening and had to evacuate silently to a safe part of the field. This activity then helped us to understand how different people might have felt during an evacuation.

Reading - Autumn 2

Skellig, by David Almond.

The bestselling story about love, loss and hope that launched David Almond as one of the best children's writers of today. Winner of the Carnegie Medal and the Whitbread children's book of the Year Award. 

When a move to a new house coincides with his baby sister's illness, Michael's world seems suddenly lonely and uncertain.

Then, one Sunday afternoon, he stumbles into the old, ramshackle garage of his new home, and finds something magical. A strange creature - part owl, part angel, a being who needs Michael's help if he is to survive. With his new friend Mina, Michael nourishes Skellig back to health, while his baby sister languishes in the hospital. 

But Skellig is far more than he at first appears, and as he helps Michael breathe life into his tiny sister, Michael's world changes for ever . . .

Skellig won the Carnegie Medal and the Whitbread Children's Book Award. David Almond is also winner of the 2010 Hans Christian Andersen award.
