I have a dream!

This week the children have combined together, their knowledge of Martin Luther King from our topic heroes and villains, our knowledge of the environment from ECO week, ideas discussed in PSHE on Stephen Lawrence day and our English skills, to write our own “I have a dream” poems. The children have produced such lovely pieces of writing that some will be displayed on our wall along with our drawings of Martin Luther King.
