Friend or Foe by Michael Morpurgo
Genre: Diary Writing
After reading the start of our class text the children began to think about what it would have been like to be an Evacuee back in WW2. The children took on the role of David from the book to keep a diary of his thoughts and feelings as he left home and headed off to the countryside to live with his new family.
CAM: Edit and improve a piece of writing.
During this lesson, the children focussed on editing and improving a piece of writing by adding carefully chosen adjectives, nouns, verbs and adverbs. When the children were satisfied that they had improved their writing they then recorded themselves reading their writing using Seesaw. Click below to hear some of our fabulous storytellers.
Year 6 became familiar with the text and quickly became gripped through exploration of characterisation, plot and empathy.

Numeracy
NATO
Whilst researching NATO, the children came across the 'number of active military data'. We input this data into Google Sheets and used the chart function to present the information in various ways.
