Writing Workshop 

Please prepare a checklist for the week and try and do a little bit of writing each day this week. You can use your blue copy, that we were using for handwriting, for the writing workshop. As there is space to draw a picture and write underneath.

What to draw?

In writing workshop you can draw/write about anything you like. I decided to draw about my news today as I did something fun over the weekend. You can write about your news or about something you are interested in.

Sorry I had to stick my page down and didn't have time to put the 2 videos together.
