Coming to England
To celebrate Black History Month, Year Five have been reading 'Coming to England' by Floella Benjamin. When Floella Benjamin first came to England from Trinidad in the early sixties, she hadn't seen her parents for fifteen months. At first, her joy at being reunited with her mother overcomes the shock at her new surroundings in cold, noisy London but when she starts school she is upset by the taunting and rejection she faces. Determined to survive, Floella realises that the only way is to be twice as good as everyone else. Check out all of our amazing work!
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory 
Year Five have loved reading their class text, Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, despite how hungry it made us all feel.
In English, we have written newspaper reports announcing Charlie finding his golden ticket. Check out these great examples!
