Love letters!
In our first week back, we began to read 'The Highwayman' by Alfred Noyes. Using this as inspiration, we got into role and crafted a love letter from one of the main protagonists to the other...
Inspired by the use of similes and metaphors in the original text, the children endeavoured to include them in their own writing - with great success. The letters in their books were wonderful, though when publishing them onto 'olde' paper, the children seem prone to missing out words and punctuation. This is something we will seek to improve in future sessions.
