Brilliant virtual author visit from Matt Goodfellow @EarlyTrain for all United Learning Yr5 pupils and some Yr6 gatecrashers! Fabulously entertaining and inspiring. Wish I’d taken some screenshots, but was too engrossed. Thanks Matt 👏

Lovely way of keeping Year 6 pupils engaged with writing!
Year 6 have been exploring children’s books and their features, which appeal to a younger audience. We are preparing to write our own non fiction piece to share with our EYFS children

Year 2 wrote and followed instructions to make a disgusting cup of tea. It truly was revolting.

So great to have virtual author visits inspiring our Yr5 pupils to write @UnitedLearning @DEllisonLee
Today, Year 5 pupils had an incredible opportunity to dive into the world of journalism. They explored how news is created, the importance of reliable sources, and the role of journalists in keeping us informed @karentulloch1 @Firs_News @wpa_year5 @WalthamstowPrim

Great to see. Hope all of our @ULPrimary @UL_Partnership schools are engaging with their subscription ahead of the upcoming year 5 @First_News visit!
Exciting times in Year 6 as our students kick off the day with First News – News Kids Can Trust! 📰❤️ Engaging with current events not only broadens their horizons but also empowers them to understand the world around them. @Mr_Hucknall @karentulloch1 @WalthamstowPrim @ULPrimary

The Wild Robot movie comes out in exactly ONE MONTH! Which means there’s still plenty of time to read the book first! It’s a quick read, I promise. So go read The Wild Robot and then go watch The Wild Robot! #thewildrobot
