Please talk to your child about the topic for their class.

They will be writing about it on Friday and your

discussions will really help. You could talk about the

great ideas and words that they could use. Thank you.

Reception Details to follow

Year 1 What do you know about RSPCA? Talk to an adult and try to research to find out more.

Year 2 You are going to write your own animal story. Talk to a grown up about what animal you can write about. What does it look like? Where does it live? What might go wrong? What will happen in the end?

Year 3 You will be writing a diary entry from the point of view of Theseus. Talk to a grown up about what he did in the story and how he might be feeling.

Year 4 Imagine you are going to have an opportunity to interview a child from India. Talk about what you would like to ask them.

Year 5 Talk to your adult about the visitors that came on Friday. Discuss the activities you did in class and the new things you learned about.

Year 6 Discuss your theme park homework ideas. Explain clearly why you have chosen the design you have.

Talk Homework: We feel that this is a really valuable activity and has a very positive impact on the quality of the ‘Friday Write’. There is no need to do any writing or bring in any paperwork.
