Our #WorkingWall of the week comes from Repton School in Abu Dhabi, where Y5 have been reading Robot Girl by Malorie Blackman.

Take a look at those grammar splats, sticky notes, shared writes and key vocabulary! 😍

Our Year 6s have been learning how to write informal letters, using punctuation lighten their tone of writing ✍️ Using inspiration from the book ‘The Windrush Child’ they wrote letters as Leonard to his father. Then, they published their work. What great teaching sequence @literacytree.bsky.social
