Academic Year 2021 - 2022
We performed our gymnastics routine to our class.
We used the poem 'In Flanders Field' as inspiration for a watercolour picture. We used layering techniques to intensify the colour.
We wrote poems in the style of 'In Flanders' Fields'.
We created travel brochures for our own fantasy island.
Invasion and Belonging
We used a dictionary to define the words ‘invasion’ and ‘belonging’.
We discussed the following questions:
- What do they mean?
- Have you been/felt invaded?
- How did it feel?
- What is belonging?
- What is the difference between ‘a sense of belonging’ and ‘belongings’?
- Which is more important?
- How are invasion and belonging linked
We created a continuum line on our tables with ‘Belonging’ at one end and ‘Invasion’ at the other. As a group, we explored each of the concepts and how they are linked. We used post-it notes to give examples of each which related to our personal experiences.
Belonging means…
Invasion is when…
I have felt…
Belonging and invasion are linked …
We discussed the question – ‘Can invasion ever become belonging?’
Our English text is 'The Rabbits' by Shaun Tan and John Marsden. This stunning picture book examines the consequences of the arrival of a group of rabbits with entirely unfamiliar ways.
