INDEPENDENT READING

Read anything you want – a book, a comic, a magazine, a blog, a web page, anything! 

GUIDED READING 

60 Second reads.  Read the poem ‘Unicorn Valley’ and answer the questions attached to it 

ENGLISH 

The next two days, we’re going to focus on quick writing activities. Set yourself a timer for 45 minutes and try and plan and write your short story in this time.  

Today’s story: re-write a nursary/ classis story that you know off by heart (e.g. red-riding hood). HOWEVER, there must be a twist! (For example, as the wolf is about to eat Grandma, she whips a pistol from her pajamas and shoots him! As Red riding hood walks in, Grandma is sat with a lovely new wolf rug!) 

You will need to include dialogue between two characters to either show emotions and thoughts, or to move the story on. Remember, new speaker, new line.
