Fantastic homework last week everyone! Some of your diary entries were very imaginative and even caught the attention of Mrs Lowe, who was very impressed with our use of subordinate clauses!

This weekend’s challenge is a little different. We need to add a new angry word to our Angry Words display. Your challenge is to think of a word that is really boring, which we can’t use in our writing, and think of as many amazing synonyms of that word as possible. The winning entry will have their Angry Word added to the display and the Angry Word mats!

Remember that these are the current Angry Words:

Said, big, small, walked, sad, happy, nice, then, went, looked

Congratulations to Ethan, whose diary entry about the gremlin blew me away! He’s this week’s winner of the writer of the week trophy.

Mr Lyons

Well done everyone for your homework about the picture last week, they were fantastic! I really enjoyed reading them.

Your homework for this weekend is to imagine you have gone home after school on Friday, and you have been told you have to look after the furry gremlin in the picture above for the weekend. I want you to write a diary entry about all of the things you get up to over the weekend. Will he be a good or bad gremlin? Will you do anything special?

Try to make your writing as interesting as possible and your challenge this time is to use at least:

- 1 subordinate clause

- 5 different time adverbials (time connectives)

- An emotion sentence

Good luck! Well done to Jessica for winning the Writer of the Week trophy for last week!

Your homework this weekend is quite difficult! People who use Twitter, like our school Twitter account, can only ever use 140 characters per tweet, so they have to be very precise in their writing.  Your ‘tweet’ needs to tell everyone who your hero is and as much about them as you can in just in 140 characters. It is a lot harder than it seems! In your tweet you must include:

1. A comma

2. An adverb

3. An apostrophe for possession

Remember – spaces and punctuation marks count  as characters.

Here is an example of my tweet about my hero:

‘Sean O’loughlin. He is Wigan’s captain. He is immensely strong, a leader .He always tries his best and never gives in. He’s born winner.’

I’m looking forward to your tweets. Remember, I wonder who will be the first person to take home our Writer of the week trophy?
