Good morning everyone,
I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s new learning about Buddhism. There is lots more to come!
Remember to fit in some exercise, reading and some other fun activities today. Enjoy!
Missing you all lots!

It is Writing Wednesday!
Today will be the same as last Wednesday – P6 and P7s are going to do different jobs at first today. You can find these in the ‘P6 Buddies’ and ‘P7 Yearbook’ channels on Teams or on the app.
Task 1
Complete your P6 buddies task or continue with your P7 yearbook jobs. If you finish, please send your work to me and then, if you wish, you can make a start on today’s other writing job. Both of these jobs can be typed up or written out on paper.
Task 2
If you have finished your P6 or P1 job then you can move onto this task. Today I want you to write freely – with no sentence starter or photo inspiration. We will still be focusing on building suspense and tension.
Remember to plan your story carefully – you can use one of the planners in files or on the app.
When you have finished your planning, you can start to write your story. We are continuing with the checklist we over the last three weeks. Hopefully today, we will see if we have made an improvement.
As you are writing, use this checklist to help you – |
|
| Write detailed descriptions of your setting (use your word bank) | |
| Include long, detailed sentences and short, shocking sentences | |
| Include ellipses (...) to create cliffhangers | |
| Include clues to tease the reader but don’t give away the story! | |
| Describe how your characters feel | |
| Describe the five senses (touch, smell, sight, hearing and taste) | |
| Include VCOP and writer’s craft. | |
You can use your jotter to handwrite your story, type it on Glow or type it straight onto your ePortfolio.
Once you think you have finished, look at the checklist again and check your work over. To assess your work this week, you can use two stars (positive things you did well) and one wish (something you think you need to improve on).
I enjoy reading your work so please send it on or share it on Teams.
Afternoon Learning
Add your story to your ePortfolio.
If you complete your writing, you can complete some Model for Improvement work (the photos are in this week’s folder).
Think about your main character – if they were only allowed to write one letter, who would they write to and what would they say?
