ENGLISH

Practise this week's spellings (LOOK-SAY-COVER-WRITE-CHECK).

Carefully look through your story-writing from last week. If an adult is available, share your writing with them and use a coloured pen (purple if you have it) to edit and improve your sentences. Think about these questions:

Is my story engaging - have I hooked the reader?

Am I writing in paragraphs?

Has there been some interesting action so far?

Have I used adventurous vocabulary (good word choices)? List the WOW! words

Are the characters believable?

Am I sticking to my plan?

Then, continue writing your story. Remember, don't rush through the plot - QUALITY writing is better than QUANTITY!
