Another set of online writing sessions, aimed at Years 3 to 6.
Using the book, ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’, children are guided through a writing task in easy daily 30 minute sessions. The outcome is a piece of writing called, ‘The Day the Devices Quit’.
Session one begins with a lovely reading of the key text and has some vocabulary building skills that are great for Key Stage 2.
Why don’t you have a go and send us your finished pieces.
