Autumn Term WEEK 7- WORLDLY DISCUSSIONS

Week 7- Worldly Discussions 


Junior Writers: 


We started with bananagram poetry: 

Using a letter given to us, we wrote a line with six words. Progressing to writing a whole poem with a different letter and word for each line. 


Then we were given four letters to order and write a poem that began with each of those letters, also using the prompt of writing about either a vegetable or food.


We then combined drawing and our poems to write inside a chosen word. 

Top ones were the most elite spice of the royal nutmeg! And Evan’s octopus facts.


Young Writers: 

We started with a word of our choosing, shared them around group and did our usual starter activity of writing a short story about that word. 


Bananagram Poetry next: 


Write a Poem with six letters given to you, each with a line starting with a word beginning with one of those letters 


We started thinking about our worlds-  choosing three to mind map and ask questions about. 

We had:

Earth as a living creature 

Stars are eyes 

Darkness is deadly 


Sonny read out the next adventure of Xopholoph, 9th edition! 

Catherine read out her other Dimension piece



Lots of discussions today, lots to think about!
