In English this term, Miss Dempsey will be teaching her Year 6 group a wide variety of skills, e.g., using different sentence structures for effect, adverbials, figurative language, varied punctuation, powerful vocabulary and more! We will be reading and writing a variety of genres, such as diary entries, newspaper reports and arguments. This will all be done through reading our wonderful new novels: 'Goodnight Mr. Tom'... (get your tissues ready!) and 'Rooftoppers'...
