Writer of the Week

We have started our new topic "Cracking Contraptions." In literacy we have been focusing on the Mrs Armitage stories by Quentin Blake. We have really enjoyed reading about the eccentric Mrs Armitage and her faithful dog Breakspear.

Last week we retold the first story-Mrs Armitage on Wheels. Our Writer of the Week is...

Millie. M!

Millie retold the story in lots of detail, using a combination of language from the story and her own ideas. She worked really hard to make sure she told the whole story. Well Done Millie!

Writers of the Week

We have got a little bit behind with our Writers of the week again, so it's time for a catch up!

Our last winner was...

Lucie!

Lucie wrote a fabulous "In the Universe" poem, with some amazing descriptions. A highlight of her poem was her fantastic use of similes. Here is her poem...

In the Universe...
The Angel falls is a wall of fresh, clean water, it is stunning.

In the Universe...
The Great Wall of China stands there and poses like a statue.

In the Universe...
Pluto sits and thinks and thinks about all of his memories about being a planet.

In the Universe...
The Cartwheel Galaxy is spinning in circles like a ballet dancer.

Earlier in our "Space" topic...

Emre!

Emre worked really hard to write a brilliant senses poem. The thing that stood out for me was his spectacular use of wow words (he even used a thesaurus to find some of them!) However, as you can see he also remembered to start each idea on a new line, he used a range of punctuation and he remembered to use lovely, neat handwriting. Well done Emre!
