Over the past couple of weeks year 5 have been focusing on the features of autobiographies and biographies in their english lessons. Following on from our anti-bullying week the children have been researching disabled athletes, and will be focussing their biographies on a disabled athlete of their choice.

Yesterday afternoon year 5 were so excited! We were lucky enough to have a young disabled althlete into the school for the children  to put on their ‘interview hats’ and meet an international athlete. He was an inspiration to us all through his commitment to his sport and the accomplishments and awards he has achieved. The children were so excited to hear Arthurs story and passion for his sport and even recieved his autograph at the end!

We cannot wait to read the biographies the children produce in the up and coming english lessons!
