Y5 English
Autumn
This term in English we have been reading the book ‘Henry’s Freedom box’. Henry was a slave who lived in 1800s America who had lost everything when his family was taking away from him. Henry came up with a idea in which he was going to mail himself to Philadelphia to escape slavery and give himself a better life. Year 5 have been writing their own diary entries from one of the characters in the story.
Year 5’s next writing outcome will be to write non-fiction biographies about Henry Brown using the biography of Martin Luther King as the model example.
