Our Excellent Writing Skills!

Miss Tran feels so proud of all the amazing writing Barn Owls have done this year. We have all progressed so much and have a real enjoyment of writing now. Have a look below at our writing displays!

Children chose to write about characters from Arthur and the Golden Rope - either Fenrir the wolf, or Wind Weaver the bird! They also sketched portraits of the characters. Children worked hard to use joined up handwriting and brainstorm ambitious adjectives and verbs for their poem.

Model Anderson Shelters

Then we played apple bobbing in the autumn sun...
