English WB 20/1/25

This week in English we have been looking at the book ‘Flanimals’ by Ricky Gervais. We have compared the text to our first book, ‘We Travel So Far’, as both books are about amazing creatures!

In addition to learning about the different Flanimals, we have also learnt how to use fronted adverbials and possessive apostrophes to improve our animal descriptions. We finished the week by creating our own fantastical Flanimals and painting these with watercolours ready to use as part of our creative writing next week!

We had some fascinating discussions and considered how the concept applies to many areas of our own lives.
