Fantasy Fiction - Northern Lights
Throughout our fantasy fiction unit, we focused on the book Northern Lights by Philip Pullman. This story is about a girl named Lyra who has a daemon, Pantalaimon; the dynamic duo work their way through a fantasy world trying to save his uncle who is imprisoned by armoured bears. We have thoroughly enjoyed the book so far and enjoying adapting our writing based on the book. During this unit, we create our own character and setting descriptions and even wrote out own opening for a new chapter where we tried to create sensory images for the reader just like Pullman does.
Poetry- Black Lives Matter
We learn all about the importance of the Black Lives Matter movement and the protests that took place in 2020 through a range of powerful poems. Throughout this unit, we read, discuss and perform many different poems and eventually write our own including a range of features: onomatopoeia, personification, metaphors, similes, and rhyming patterns.
