World War I
For this half term 6S are focusing on Michael Morpurgo.
Michael Morpurgo is an English book author, poet, playwright, and librettist who is known best for children's novels such as War Horse.
His work is noted for its "magical storytelling", for recurring themes such as the triumph of an outsider or survival, for characters' relationships with nature, and for vivid settings such as the Cornish coast or World War I.
Morpurgo became the third Children's Laureate, from 2003 to 2005
Spy, fighter pilot, medical inventor, 6S has been focusing on learning about beloved children's author Roald Dahl.
6S's class book has been Going Solo, Roald Dahl's autobiography.
Going Solo focuses on Roald's adult life before he began his career as a writer. From plane crashes to snake bites, it takes us through some of the amazing things he experienced while living in Africa, to his time as an RAF pilot during the Second World War.
"A life is made up of a great amount of small incidents and a small amount of great ones. An autobiography must therefore, unless it is to become tedious, be extremely selective, discarding all the inconsequential incidents in one's life and concentrating upon those that have remained vivid in the memory."
