Today we were thinking about why certain words are effective and why they affect us in different ways. First of all we looked at four short Halloween poems and highlighted words that we thought were effective. Then we came together in groups and used the Thinking routine of Chalk Talk to add our ideas about different words and links that we can make.There was a lot of discussion and exploration of different themes and ideas.

In ICT some pupils chose to create a wordsearch with Bonfire and Firework onomatopoeic words and other created PowerPoints to explain how to stay safe on Bonfire Night.
