Emotional Epistles from Year 6
Year 6 become 'Bruno', the protagonist of our current text, as they write letters this week.
After reading the first two chapters of John Boyne's poignant novel, 'The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas', Year 6 wrote a letter from the point of view of Bruno to the best friend he has been forced to leave behind in Berlin when he has to go and live in a new house, situated on the outskirts of Auschwitz. Above is a letter written by Ethan Pinder (6R), which captures Bruno brilliantly. As well as focusing on characterisation, we have been working on incorporating a range of clauses into our writing - a skill which we will continue to develop throughout the year.
