Over the next few days in English, we are going to be completing a whole school writing project.

Usborne books have released an excellent writing competition for you all to enter. We are going to be writing a letter to a child in 2030 explaining to them what it was like to live in 2020. You are not going to write the letter today, we are going to create a plan today and write the letter tomorrow.

I will send out further information about how you can enter the competition when we have finished our writing task.

Today, I would like you to complete the following activity in English. Get your self a piece of paper and put a line down the middle so you have split your page in half. On one side of the paper, write the heading: Wonderful Memories and on the other side of the paper, write the heading: Sad Memories.

I would like you to draw pictures to show me what your best memories of 2020 are and what your saddest memories of 2020 are. Watch the video below and I will share some of mine with you.
