St Mary's CofE Primary School
We love. We learn. We flourish.
Year 5
Monday
We started the week by looking at fictional animal characters in books. Characters from books including the Gruffalo, Elmer the Elephant and Where the Wild Things Are are have some characteristics of real life animals but are fictitious.
Each child explored ideas before creating their animal character to work with this week.
Tuesday
We brought our characters to life by completing fact files about them. We created information about their habitat, diet, appearance and other fun facts.
Wednesday
After finishing our fact files, we used them to create non-chronological reports about our animals. The facts in each section were turned into a paragraph under subheadings.
Friday
We started the day by creating front covers for our animal books.
In the ICT Suite, we then used Word to type up our non-chronological reports. We added page borders and edited the font. Finally, we added a photograph of our animal.
Year 6 read us a chapter from a story they had selected. They brought it to life with actions and movement.
Our book day costumes!
