Year 6 English- Persuasive Writing

16th October 2025

In English, Year 6 have been reading Shackleton’s Journey by William Grill. They wrote motivational speeches as if they were Sir Ernest Shackleton after the loss of their beloved ship, The Endurance in 1915. On Thursday, we performed our speeches to the whole year group. We thought about the importance of expression and passion as we spoke to the demoralised crew in Antarctica. We were so impressed with each other’s writing and the power and impact of each and every performance. Well done Year 6!
