Year 5 in outrage!!!

Year 5 were in outrage today after receiving a 'letter' from the Department of Education!

The children received a ‘letter’ as a stimulus for their new English unit on newspaper reports. The letter stated that the Department for Education are proposing that UKS2 children lose their morning break and stay at school until 4pm in preparation for their SATs.

The children were outraged at the letter and could not quite believe it! They have used it as a basis to write some fantastic examples of direct and indirect speech, showing what the staff thought about the news.

They are now in the process of using it to write their very own newspaper report. The children have already come up with some fantastic headlines and opening paragraphs and we can’t wait to see their finished product!
