Next week’s writing will focus on describing and discussing the children’s favourite books.
Whilst there are some brilliant non-fiction books, we would like them to choose a fiction text for them to write about. It could be a book written recently, perhaps a David Walliams story, or a book written a while ago - we have noticed some children reading Enid Blyton and similar books.
Our word of the week will be fascinating, and the writing will be structured around three paragraphs:
1. The characters in the story.
2. A summary of the plot.
3. Why is the book special to you? What do/did you enjoy about it?
It needs to be a book the children know really well, and it would be great if parents/carers could help them choose one. Also it would be very helpful if you could:
· Bring the book into school on Monday and keep it in school throughout the week.
· Practise summarising the plot - was there a problem that needed solving? What did your favourite character do? Were there any funny moments?
· Discuss what the characters are like, and practise writing descriptions about them.
· Create a poster all about the favourite book—draw the characters, a scene from the story or maybe the front cover.
· Write a short paragraph explaining why the book was chosen - think carefully about why it was chosen over others.
Many thanks
