This week, Year 5 have embarked on an exciting new reading adventure as we begin exploring Clockwork by the wonderful author Philip Pullman! We will be using this captivating and mysterious text as the focus for our English and Guided Reading lessons, delving into its intriguing characters, exploring its atmosphere and uncovering the secrets within the story. Inspired by our reading, the children will be developing their creative writing skills by writing a diary entry from a character’s perspective, as well as creating detailed character descriptions. We will be focusing on using ambitious vocabulary, descriptive language and carefully chosen details to bring our writing to life. We are looking forward to seeing the children’s imaginations take flight as they immerse themselves in this fantastic story!
