COEDPENMAEN’S
‘CREATIVE WRITERS’ WEEK
Dear parents/carers,
Next
week, we will be holding a creative writing project where all pupils in the
school will be involved in a story writing project. The pupils may want to
enter their finished stories into the 500 Words competition! The story can be
about anything. Please look at the 500 Words website with your child. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00rfvk1
All
teachers have planned lessons to:
·
inspire pupils to write using music, art, film
and objects
·
allow pupils to let their imagination run wild!
·
build on their bank of vocabulary
·
encourage the use of different openers,
connectives and punctuation
·
illustrate their books and write a blurb
Nursery and reception will be
writing a class story on a Lion’s Tinga Tinga tale. Check out this link:
TALKING HOMEWORK
Please could you help your child
this weekend by discussing ideas for a story. Maybe they could find an object
around the house to inspire them? Or maybe they could use a painting, a piece
of music or a story that they love to give them ideas. Obviously, teachers will
help to inspire them also through the lessons that they have planned. Check out
the 500 Words website to help you as well as the Literacy Shed site. This sight
has lots of animations to inspire writing: http://www.literacyshed.com/
PARENTS SHARING WRITING
We would like to invite parents
in on Friday afternoon (30th January) to sit with their child to
share their story ideas and to work with them to improve them and celebrate
their achievements. If you are able to attend at 1.30pm please complete the slip
below and return to school. We are all excited about this project and thank you
in anticipation of your support.
Kind Regards, Mrs Pugh
