Thursday 11th June



Good morning everyone!

I hope you are all still keeping well.  I have a challenge for you today - to write a show-stoppingly exciting book review!  Hopefully, you've all been reading something every day, or listening to some of the free children's audiobooks that I have suggested for you.  Once you've finished a book, you can create a review to help other people decide whether or not to read it too.

In school, we use a specific template for our book reviews - I've put a copy in the Google drive in case you want to use it, but if you fancy a different challenge, why not follow this link?  The LitFilmFest company has put together some helpful video instructions for writing a book review, and there are some examples of reviews written by children in schools (before lockdown happened, as you'll see!).  The children in the video clips do a fantastic job of reading their reviews very expressively - maybe you could have a practice at home and even record yourself if you have access to a phone or tablet.  You could even add to your performance with drawings and props to help you bring the story to life and encourage others to read it!

Let me know how you get on!

Best wishes

Mrs Vaqueiro
