As we have now finished our WCR text for Spring 1, Odysseus, but are not ready to start our new text of The Highwayman, we are going to have a pic 'n' mix WCR week! Each day there will be a video to watch, a poem to read or a short story to investigate, alongside corresponding WCR questions based on VIPERS. (V=vocabulary, I=inference, P=prediction, E=explanation, R=retrieval, S=summarise)
For today, we have something REALLY SPECIAL!
In place of what would have been Greenleaf's annual Book Week, your teachers have got together to create a book challenge video! Watch the video to see if you can guess which characters/books the teachers are portraying and submit your answers by the end of the week. We're so sorry we're unable to take part in our usual Book Week, because we know it's one of the highlights of the year, but rest assured we will be doing something for World Book Day in March, and are planning on moving Book Week to later on in the year!

It's Rainbow Poetry week in Y5! Listen to a colour themed song a day, to get you in the mood! We've gone for the theme of Rainbows as we've had a pretty colourful year, what with art week and 'Hello Yellow' day, but also because, throughout lockdown, the rainbow has been a symbol of unity and thanks to all our NHS and key workers.
