Year 6's Super Writers
As part of a local authority initiative ending on Children in Need day, a group of our Year 6 pupils have worked incredibly hard to produce a wonderful collaborative piece of writing based on a proverb from around the world. The children chose the proverb "A single bracelet does not jingle" and have crafted an excellent written piece around this, which also includes an array of higher-level sentence structures and punctuation. We are extremely proud of the children's efforts.
