Year 6 have started their first week back after half term wonderfully, especially in literacy where they have been introduced to their new book: Floodland by Marcus Sedgwick. You can find the author reading each chapter here, if you would like to listen to the story with your children at home.
The year 6 children have been developing their reading and writing skills by analysing key characters in the story and writing from their perspective. Today, they created their own set of Top Trump cards to describe each character's traits. It was brilliant to hear their discussions, where they were respectfully debating how highly each character would score in certain traits and supporting any points they were making with evidence from the text.
"I scored Zoe quite highly for kindness, but not too highly because she did leave Natasha in Norwich", Oliver P, Almond
"I rated Dooby as quite high for aggression because he pulled at Zoe's arm in a violent way." Jolene, Lime
They enjoyed playing each other with them at the end of the lesson as well!
Some outstanding character analysis, Year 6. Well done!
