 "Goodnight Mr Tom" by Michelle Magorian.

We started to look at the characterisation and relationship between the two main characters- William and Mr Oakley. 

To explore the theme of evacuation, we looked at reels of children being evacuated and discussed the children's thoughts and feelings.

We then discussed how evacuation was presented to the world as 'an adventure'. We then discussed how this would affect the children and also the adults who had to take children in by law.

The class was then broken in to groups and given 3 minutes to prepare and perform a piece of drama. They were given a short section of dialogue (Willie, Tom, Sammy), which they could use as the source to improvise and also some groups were asked to create dialogue for their group. This was then performed back to the class. We then reviewed the performance using WWW (What Went Well?) and EBI (Even Better If...).

It was amazing to see everyone engage and working with eachother. Excellent work by all!!!

Well done Year 6
