Wow! What a great week! We have seen so much BRILLIANT work from all of you. We are so proud!
Our book for this week was Journey to Jo’burg by Beverley Naidoo. This story is about a brother and sister on a journey to find their mum.
When their baby sister suddenly becomes very sick, Naledi and Tiro know, deep down, that only one person can save her. Bravely, alone, they set off on a journey to find Mma and bring her back. It isn’t until they reach the city that they come to understand the dangers of their country, and the painful struggle for freedom and dignity that is taking place all around them.
We learnt a range of skills whilst studying this book. Some of these skills were:
- Using a range of grammatical structures
- Using a range of cohesive devices in our speaking
- Identifying key themes and linking these to our lives
- Using and applying our School Values
- Present in a variety of ways, opinions on a wide range of topics affecting themselves and others
- Explore a controversial issue considering both sides of an argument
We also used new and ambitious vocabulary in our performances. We linked topic, maths and art skills to our theme so we had a wide learning scope.
What did you enjoy about the week? What did you learn?
