Fantastic homework last week everyone! For this week’s challenge, your writing MUST be 100 words, no more or no less. You can write about anything you like, in any genre you like, but it has to be 100 words long! Try to use as many writing features as you can.
Well done to Harris for winning this week’s writer or the week award, his idea will go to our Angry Words display too!
Mr Lyons
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?
Mr Lyons

Your homework for this half term is to predict what it will be like in 30 years time! You may have seen on the news this week a famous movie made in 1985 called ‘Back to the Future’. In the film, the main character Marty McFly travels 30 years into the future to 21st October 2015. There were lots of things that the film correctly and incorrectly predicted! For example, flat screen TVs, video calling, google glasses, drones, digital cameras, XBOX Kinect and 3D films were just some of the correct predictions made by the writers. However, they also predicted there would be flying cars, hoverboards, self-tying shoes and lawyers being banned were just a few of the things that they got wrong about the future.
Take a look at the video from the film which shows Marty in 2015. Can you see anything else they got right or wrong? Your task is to make 8 predictions about what life will be like in 30 years time!
I can’t wait to see what ideas you have! Have a great half term and see you on 2nd November!
Mr Lyons
