Class 8 have been working hard to think of companies to write to in order for our courtyard area to be redesigned. They have drafted letters to these companies. We would love to know your thoughts about these!
Mr McCann

Dear Class 8,

Your homework this week is to write the dramatic scene that happens next in the animation. This is the part where the man approaches and then chases the cube. Here’s what you need to try and include in your writing (success criteria):

• Short dramatic sentences.
• Good openers (fronted adverbials – In the middle of nowhere, All of a sudden, After a while,)
• Powerful verbs (jumped – he leapt, he dived, pounced)
• Good adverbs (cautiously, slowly, anxiously)

Some of you might include:

• Complex sentences (main clause and subordinate clause)
• Similes, metaphors and personification

I’m really looking forward to reading your writing!

Today’s final diary entry is limited to 160 words only, as we are focusing on quality of writing not quantity. The children must carefully choose the emotive language that they use to create a powerful and positive final diary entry as Anne Frank. We hope you enjoy reading them. 🙂

Mr McCann

The children have been working hard to edit and improve their diary entry from last time and add a new entry months later. Please let us know what you think to them by adding a comment! 😀
