Book Week Workshop


From my observations, I think Yr6 are loving book week. On Monday 27th we did a workshop with an energetic lady named Brenda.

She talked to us about planets and based the whole workshop about them. I think this was clever because it got the class intrigued.

At the end Brenda gave each group an interview to act out; one group carried out Neil Armstrong's interview after he’d been to the moon. I thought these were entertaining to watch.

All in all I think Yr6 thoroughly enjoyed book week.

SHARED WRITING


At the beginning of book week each class were presented with a picture which we had to write about, making up a story. The whole class worked together on the story by each individual person jotting down ideas and then sharing them, forming a great collaborative piece of writing.
Each class swapped with another class and continued with writing their story. Reception class was paired with Mr Hale, Year 1 with Year 2, Year 3 with Year 4 and Year 5 with Year 6. We continued alternating between each-others stories until we had a result of seven brilliant pieces of writing with a taste of two different classes in each story. Personally I really enjoyed doing the shared writing, I feel it really stretched my imagination and I would love to do it again.

I interviewed someone to find out what they thought about the shared writing and this is what she said:

‘ I liked it  because we were sharing our ideas with another class and I liked their ideas to improve our work. They were interesting and it was fun  to collaborate with such a great class, and I would love to do it again but with a different class.’

Overall I think it was a really enjoyable thing to do.
