English - flashbacks

In English today we looked at a short video clip, 'The Piano'. Our focus was to include flashbacks in our writing- we wrote some group flashbacks, here is as example:

Everyday, I sit there and play my favourite piece of music. Specifically, I play the music that reminds me of the war; back in the days when I was a medic in the Navy. As I listen to my much-loved pieces, I remember memories of my past; memories that have lasted a lifetime. The music brings back the memories of the times I risked my life to comfort the wounded. Specifically, the time when I lost my brother. I ran to save him but I was too late.

Living things - Science

In Science today we discovered who Carl Linnaeus is and what he is most famous for. He renamed flowers from the overly long Latin names to one or two word names that we know now. We learned that if an L. appears after a scientific name it tells us that Linnaeus named that living thing. A dagger sign after a name shows that the living thing is extinct!
Aristotle categorised animals into different headings by looking at their appearance and features. 

War Horse

Our focus in English is WWI, we've been reading War Horse. We also went to the theatre last Thursday to see War Horse live on stage, during our time in London we visited the War Memorial at the Tower of London - the ground was covered with poppies.
From our day out we have written a review and we are currently writing our own war stories.
