Welcome back 2B I have missed you all over the half term. I’ve loved hearing what the children have been getting up to in their holidays. We have had an exciting first few days back!
On Monday, we read our new text “Let the Children March”. I love this book, it explains an account of a very brave child who took part in the Children’s Crusade – a March organised by Martin Luther King to fight segregation laws in the 60’s in America. I was so impressed with the children’s comprehension, there are lots of tricky words in this book! Have a look at some of the examples in the photo below. To explain the idea of segregation, I told the children that if they had blue eyes they weren’t allowed to play on the trim trail. They couldn’t believe I would be so mean! Some children questioned it and others were very rightly upset and we all agreed it was unfair. Let’s see what other exciting lessons we will have based on this text!
Yesterday, we had a very exciting visitor! A real life artist called David! He drew Mr Meade and we were amazed, it looked just like him. We will be using our own drawings for a very exciting project linked to our expedition – take a look at just how proud we are of our work.
