Willow Class
Summer Term 2024
Fabulous Flying Machines!
In our History lessons, we are answering the enquiry question: 'How have flights changed the world'. We will be learning about the amazing adventures of the Wright brothers, Bessie Coleman, Amelia Earhart and Neil Armstrong.
This half term, our English unit is based upon 'Grandad's Secret Giant' by David Litchfield.
"He has hands the size of tables," Grandad said, "legs as long as drainpipes and feet as big as rowing boats. Do you know who I mean?" "Yes," sighed Billy. "The Secret Giant. But he's not real!" Billy doesn't believe his Grandad when he tells him there's a giant living in his town, doing good deeds for everyone. He knows that a giant is too big to keep himself hidden. And why would he WANT to keep himself a secret? But as time goes on, Billy learns that some secrets are too BIG to stay secret for long...
