For the last few weeks we have been playing with words, thinking about rhyme and pattern. We recorded this podcast during our plenary and lesson review sessions while we were sharing the spells we had written based on a scene from a Play by William Shakespeare. We learned about the Tudors last term, and Shakespeare was a famous writer from Tudor Times. We had lots of fun thinking of ingredients. What do you think?

This week have been learning about Henry VIII's younger years. We have been comparing portraits, of how he looked when he was young with how he looked as he got older. We created similes in our literacy hour to describe Henry as a young man, using clues in the portraits we explored, and used these to create these simile acrostics using his name. Here are a few of the poems we wrote, we will be publishing the others in our next episode. We would love to hear what you think.
