Whilst on my daily walk near my house, I came across this door which I thought looked pretty intriguing!
Task - write a short story that somehow includes this door. Where does it lead? What happens when you go through it? Be as creative as you like! Use Tom Palmer's editing video to edit and improve your writing.
Make sure you consider your audience - is it a story for a young child, or someone your age? Good luck!
Easter Big Sing!!
Follow this link to the Out of the Ark website that is posting songs for free during this time. The last song in the week 2 folder is called Sing Out An Easter Song. Children in Year 2 will already know this but please learn and practise it and then join us on Thursday at 2pm to sing it altogether. We hope to have a live link to school where we'll be singing it too. You could film yourselves singing and tweet it to us! We would like as many of you as possible to join in and make a joyful sound!
