What a great start to our new topic of WW2! Our main focus in literacy at present is monologues and we have been so impressed by the standard of writing from all the children in year 5 and the empathy they have shown.

We were lucky enough to have a WW2 veteran in yesterday where the children could question him on the life of being an evacuee. They absolutely loved it and acquired so much information which will enable them to write their next monologues. It was very appropriate for the time of year and gave the children time to reflect for those who fought in the war.

The children will recieve a letter today to inform parents about a trip to the D-Day museum which will take place on Tuesday the 18th of November. We do apologise for such short notice but workshop places required have only recently become available. We do thank you for your co-operation in this.
