We get lots of opportunities to be Pupil of the Day throughout the school year but for adults at home, older siblings and your teachers they don’t get a chance to have a turn.

Today to spread some positivity, it is your job to design a compliment list for a special person. Make sure it is bright and colourful with their name and lots of things they like.

Next, fill that page with as many compliments you can!

Creative Writing – Animal Town

Story starter!

Most visitors are a little shocked (to put it mildly) when they arrive at Animal Town. Despite the fact that the name of the town gives a slight indication to passers-by that the inhabitants of the town are ‘not normal’, it’s as if people don’t believe things until the see them with their own eyes!

Once you get used to being in Animal Town – or so they say – seeing an orangutan behind a desk in a sheriff’s office and upholding the law to an impeccably high standard becomes relatively ‘normal’…

Main Activities (All uploaded for use on SEESAW)

  1. Question Time

  2. Sentence challenge!

  3. Sick sentences

4. Writing – Choice of writing activity

  • Imagine you are a visitor in Animal Town. Try to describe your experience.
  • Imagine you are one of the residents of Animal Town
