If pigs could fly ...
Write a story about what happened when the pigs flew into town on the following Tuesday.
Think carefully about what your story will be about. Here are some plot ideas for you to use if you are stuck.
1. The pigs could be flying into town to raid a supermarket. (How do they get in? What will they eat? Will they crash into anything in the dark? What about the security guards?)
2. They could be floating off to a party in the town park. What shops will they visit to collect supplies for their party? (They might need fireworks, clothes, musical instruments and so on.)
3. Maybe they are looking for a new place to live?

Trotting along the Thames
Year 4 went on a trip to the River Thames to deepen their knowledge about rivers. They went to explore the muddy banks in search of artifacts from as far back as the Tudor times.
What sort of artifacts did you find? How were you able to tell what time it was from? Can you remember any interesting facts about the Thames? What do you think children in years to come will find on the Thames river banks?

Say No to Segregation
We continued reading Journey to Jo'Burg - Naledi and Tiro were involved in a pass raid. Having acted out this scene, we empathised with how unfair the apartheid law was. We decided a protest was necessary so, as a year group, we created placards to demonstrate against the apartheid law.
Why did you start the protest?
How did you feel whilst on the protest?
What effect do you think protests had during the apartheid law?
How else do people show how strongly they felt about segregation?

The Discovery
Their teacher beckoned them closer, and as one they edged cautiously towards the skeleton. What was supposed to be a boring school trip had just got a whole lot more exciting! Were they on the verge of making a terrific discovery?
