After half term we will be reading and evaluating 'monster' poems with view to designing our own monsters from which to generate poetry. During the course of the year the children have taken part in a number of surveys to establish their thoughts and preferences.This week we are considering spelling and asking the children for their opinions on how spelling is taught in school. This half term has flown by as usual and all the children have worked so hard and deseve a well earned rest! Special congratulations to Annie-May and Ellie O'Connor for being chosen as our 'super stars' for this half term!!!
