Borrowers display

This display shows work that our two Year Sixes colloborated on over two weeks. A scenario was designed in which The Borrowers were hidden inside our school. One class played the role of the Borrowers whilst the other became the advisers. The Borrowers were guided towards a magical book in the Library. The Borrowers and children communicated through letters. We also wrote formal letters to their parents to explain where their children were, and also a newspaper report. The unit of work is brilliant to develop their children's creative skills, but also to help secure and enhance sentence structure. We worked on our use of complex sentences and ambitious vocabulary at the same time. The display features photos of the Borrowers in our school. We made clay models which the children place in position.
