Heroes
This half-term, we’ll be continuing to learn about heroes. Our Literacy work will involve lots of drama work around a book called Willy the Chimp by Anthony Browne. Take a look at our display in the hall.
We’ll be focusing class discussions on inspirational heroes like Louis Braille and a Paralympic athlete, Oscar Pistorius.
We’re looking forward to a very exciting and engaging half term!

This week’s homework is talk time and it links with our current SEAL theme. It’s due in on Wednesday 07 March 2012.
I can say why it is ‘Good to be me’.
Remember, with talk time homework, there is no need to write anything in the books; a few prompts might be helpful but not essential.

Topic
From David Beckham to Nelson Mandella, we’ve leant about a whole range of heroes. Our class discussions have been focused on what qualities people need to make them a hero. We’ve studied Pop Art and the artist Roy Litchenstein who often painted real life heroes as well as superheroes. Take a look at our own versions in our classroom! In ICT, we wrote character descriptions and even designed our own superhero. Next, we’ll create comic strips. We’re currently learning about inspirational Olympic and Paraolympic heroes.
