AZTEC newspaper articles






















"EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it!"
We have linked our history topic, "The Aztecs", to literacy and we have written newspaper articles on an Aztec human sacrifice.
We tried to include all the features of newspaper articles:
  • an "eye catching" headline
  • an interesting introduction
  • set out in paragraphs and columns
  • a photo and caption
  • quotes (what people said)
  • plenty of facts

Mrs. McCarthy and Baby Begoña

Hi there my honey bunnies!
I´ve finally found the time to write you all a short message-Begoña keeps me VERY busy, especially at four o´clock in the morning! I wanted to say thank you all for your lovely letters and wishes. A special thank you to Angela for the beautiful dress, Marina for the chocolates, model hospital and cuddly toy and to Sofia for visiting me in Cruz Roja. I´ll be able to drive soon and I´ll be up to school to see you and show you the baby. I´m sure you´re working hard for Mr. Carter and showing him what a great class you are. Miss you all lots! Love, Mrs. McCarthy

The Worst...I ever... *class shared poetry

In 5.2 we've been reading "Charlotte's Web". Avery, Fern's brother has just fallen on a rotten goose egg. This has made us think about all the most horrible things we have smelt, tasted, seen touched and heard. Using our whiteboards, we have written a class poem. We hope you like it.
