This week, in History, the Owls have been learning about the Spanish Armada. We had a go at re-enacting it!
In English, we have been using our senses to imagine what Victorian London may have been like. We thought about what we could see, hear and smell if we were there. In our writing we tried to use adventurous adjectives and some expanded noun phrases. After editing our work in our English books, we published […]
