Wk. ending 1st October

Please find below our English working wall at the moment followed by the CLEAPSS Viking Amulet making morning we enjoyed. 

Our working wall shows the process of our teaching sequence for the text 'The Beasties'. It shows drama in acting out the story, to creating our own class shared version, we then brought in special objects to stimulate our minds and imagination, and we ended with writing our own fabulous stories. We then drafted and edited them and have made our final versions into three class books.  

We were very lucky to a have a member of CLEAPSS join our class this morning to trial a Viking Amulet making lesson. The children were told about amulets, shown an example, they were then given a piece of paper to design their own using Viking symbols. The clay was lovely and malleable and the amulets they have made are now drying. These will be strung and sent home next week.
