Junior 6
It has been wonderful to welcome Junior 6 back to school this week and to start a new term of learning. We began by starting a new core text – The Lion and the Unicorn by Shirley Hughes. This links to our History theme this half-term and we soon realised that the backdrop to the story is set against the bombings of London during the Second World War. We met the main character, Lenny, and empathised with his thoughts and feelings as he endured the difficulties of air raids and missing his father. We listened to what an air raid siren sounded like and looked at photographs of some of the devastation that these caused. We thought about some of the imagery involved in the story and why it might have been called, The Lion and the Unicorn. We are looking forward to seeing how this story develops over the next few weeks.
