English
Julia Donaldson
We have had great fun in our English lessons studying the books of Julia Donaldson. We loved them so much that we decided to write to her! We can’t wait to see if she replies! We also had great fun re-creating our favourite book covers on the iPads. See the results for yourself underneath.
Persuasive Adverts
In the build up to Christmas, we looked at how companies advertise children's toys and the persuasive techniques they use. We then had a go at making our own...here are the results!

Instructions
We have had great fun in our English lessons both following and writing instructions. We started by following instructions to perform magic tricks (see below). Next, we went on to write our own instructions for some times table games. Finally, we made video tutorials on how to make candy canes. Why not have a watch and have a go yourself?
