Writing
Fidget Spinner Writing
There are 4 parts to a simple creative writing story.
1. All stories need a character. A protagonist. Someone who the story is going to be about.
2. Second, that character needs, well character. Are they scary? Are they scared? Do they never get scared even when they should be?
3. Next, we need to know where the story is taking place, the location, the setting. Are they somewhere realistic or somewhere completely bizarre and made up?
4. Last, there needs to be a problem or a situation. What happens in the story? What is the story all about?
I am sure you all remember the huge craze of fidget spinners that drove teachers to despair!
Well today I ask you dig them out and cut the corner off of a piece of paper and stick it to one of the ends of the the fidget spinner.
Number 1 – Pick a character
Number 2 – Pick the situation
Number 3 – Pick your location
Number 4 – What is your character like?

Once we understand more about sound a big part of our learning will be researching how animals use sound to communicate. I felt this fitted in really well with our Rainforest topic and I think it will be a really interesting topic for us to learn about.
