Writing Challenge

Join in with the fun….. We have some amazing writers in year 6 who may be interested in taking part in this challenge. The project, Saving Anksi, will launch on the 11th May. Over 3 weeks, children are invited to explore the story by investigating artefacts from museums, storytellers and artists as they piece together clues in the story world.  They will share ideas with other children through the story. The story will also consider looking after our planet by exploring eco-literacy.

Your parents will need to visit the site and also help you to upload your work. It would be great to see some work from the children at Queen’s Hill appearing on their website!

Good luck and have fun:-)

Miss Wright’s Bean Diary: Week 3

Miss Wright’s bean plant has been growing for 3 weeks now. She has noticed lots of changes. The stem is a lot taller now and the bean plant has two big leaves!

Have a look at your bean plant. Has it changed? Can you draw it in ‘week 3’ of your bean diary?

Charlie challenge: can you think of a word to describe the bean plant? Have a go at writing the initial sound next to your picture. Miss wright has written “b” for “big” leaves.

Please upload a picture of your runner bean diary to Tapestry and come back next week for an update on Miss Wright’s runner bean plant!
