This week we planned and wrote a dream sequence. The children focused on their expanded noun phrases, figurative language and varying their sentence types.  Year 6 also learnt about determiners and spent some time understanding where they are placed in a sentence.

Next week, the children will be writing in role as Skellig and Michael.  They will focus on writing in the correct tense.
