Next week on Thursday 23rd May the whole school will be participating in a BIG Write. The genre for this week is a Narrative. Stay tuned for the details but it will be a super fun explosion  of imagination! Photos will be sent home via Flexibuzz early next week. Get your family talking - in the car, at home, at dinner and catch the BUZZZZZ.

All families are encouraged to participate in the 'Big Talk' home  learning and discuss the topic and gather any ideas. A narrative has Characters, Setting, Problem and Solutions.  How can you include these ideas into your story?  If your child can talk about it they can  write it!
