Our first literacy unit is based around the story of The Emperor and the Nightingale. This is a classic story, which has many different versions. To help us learn the events in the narrative, we turned parts of the text into a playscript, which we then performed in small groups. We had a lot of fun thinking about how the lines should be delivered!
Year 6 have been practising their -ant, -ance, -ancy and -ent, -ence and -ency spellings recently. One fun way we found to practise was by playing a matching game. Children had to turn over a word card and a definition card and see if they matched. If they did, the children had to try to spell the word without looking at the card. If they were correct, they kept the pair of cards. The winner was the player with the most pairs!
