Fantastic Fantasy!
Where do you start when you want to write a fantasy story? We started with reading some fantasy stories; then, we looked at lots of fantasy settings which we described (come and look at our fantasy tree to look at the vocabulary we came up with!). It was time to come up with our own fantasy settings. We used the iPads to help us. Not only that, we learnt how to email our work so that Mrs Weekes can print it out! Check us out….
Super space homework
Well done to everyone in Year 4 for some fantastic homework this week. Everyone learnt so much on Friday afternoon (as well as having lots of fun!) because of the effort put in by children (and parents, perhaps!) to do something a bit different. I can’t wait for the next piece of creative homework!
