We have been diving into some magical fairy tales in our English lessons! We started by reading The Princess and the Pea and thought about the different barriers the poor prince might have faced on his search for a real princess.

We also read The Pea and the Princess by Mini Grey. It was really interesting to compare the two versions and spot what was the same and what was different. To bring the characters to life, we took part in hot-seating, where we got the chance to be the prince and answer tricky questions from the rest of the class.

We are now creating some creative story maps of The Pea and the Princess to show the important events in order. 

Check back soon for some of our masterpieces.

Poetry 

This week we have started our poetry work. We began by watching videos about water and wrote down words on our whiteboards that we thought of as we saw the clips. Together, using a thesaurus we created a word web to show synonyms of some of our chosen words. We then used our ideas to create a class list poem.
