This week, the children have been very excited to start learning about salsa music. Salsa originated in Cuba and we discovered that salsa means 'sauce' in Spanish, which is rather appropriate as many countries have since added their own 'flavourings' to this style of music.
Over the past few weeks, Year 6 have been developing their figurative language skills in order to write an animal description. The children have analysed a paragraph from 'Hound of the Baskervilles', completed a shared write with a partner (pictured) and then gathered vocabulary and drafted their own description.
What a wonderful week! On Monday, Year 6 visited St Leonard's Court air raid shelter as a conclusion to our World War II topic. It was interesting to see the impact the war had on our local area. The following day, we were lucky enough to be visited by the author Grant Strong, who talked through the process of writing and explained how important daydreaming is. Our fun filled week was finished off with a STEM Day.
