Family News

This week for writing we will be working on some short writing activities. Our first writing task is called 'Family News'. The children will be given the opportunity to write about something that is happening in their life, it may be a family birthday, a trip or holiday (that they have had or are looking forward to), a special visitor, an activity, a tooth falling out or a new addition to the family (a new baby or pet). We will be completing this writing at school however in preparation for it you could ask your child:
What special family news would they like to write about?
Who is this news about?
When did it happen?
Where did it happen?
Why is this special family news?
How do they feel about it?
