Dina Asher-Smith Class Update Autumn 2024

Dina Asher-Smith class • November 10, 2024

Wow!! What a wonderful week it has been in Year 6!

Year Six have had a wonderful, creative, messy start to their new school academic year. We kicked off the school year thinking about what makes a good leader. From this many of our Year 6 decided to be courageous and put themselves forward to be considered for House, Vice Captain, and School Council.

An amazing well done to all and I am really proud of the way the class supported each other in the process. 


We have started the year writing some setting descriptions. Here are a couple for you to enjoy:

In vast ocean someone was sailing and crash landed on a desert island. They started scavenging for food and materials fast because it was one day before winter.

Luckily, he brought lots of materials in case it’s happened. So he got to work, he made a list on what to do. I will tell you the list :

  • Melt sand to make glass.
  • Flip the boat,
  • Put the glass on the boat,
  • Make a chimney out of supplies,
  • Make a fire place,
  • Make a door,

Done. A few hours after he finished his checklist and he started working on a fire. As soon a s you walked in you could smell burning wood from the fireplace.

Once there was a tiny house in a snowy town. The house was made out of wood and it was painted green so it wouldn’t look boring and in that house lived Santa.


Santa was a huge man with a long, white beard. Inside you could hear the fire and Santa snowing on a cosy chair. Outside, you could see barrels filled with wood.

If you would walk past, you could smell mince pies being made and baked.
