English Day 2 blog - The box & the bus.

Date: 16th May 2024 @ 11:34am

Wow! The year 4 class have worked super hard in their English today. They were asked to read two biographies about Henry Box Brown and Rosa Parks. They had to find the key features of the biographies and they had to identify what information they wanted to include in their blogs tomorrow. 

Here are some highlights that the tribe found out!

Speaking of highlights, I liked that we were able to use the highlighters to find names, titles, time connectives, dates, speech and past tense verbs!

Esmee

I can't believe that the boycott of the buses was on the 5th December. Rosa Parks was sent to jail for one day and she changed the world by being brave.

Maisy

In the text, there were so many past tense verbs. In Henry Box Brown's biography there was so many we didn't know if we were going to miss out any or if we would have had time, but we did!

Lily 

I found out that they Rosa had to use a different door on the bus because of the colour of her skin. Reading her biography was shocking because it seems unreal that the world once lived this way but she was a brave inspiration and so was Henry.

Finn

I was shocked that the world lived in segregation, how awful!

Francesca

I felt it was extremely mean how people did not have the same rights. The colour of their skin has nothing to do with who they are as people, I am shocked at how people behaved and treat people in history. Henry and Rosa changed the world.

Tomorrow, expect blogs from our tribe!
