Y5/6 Journalists wanted

Jan 122016
 

I am looking for a few Year 5/6 children to be part of a team of journalists.  To start with, you will write short articles for our website about some of our assemblies, including photos on any important action.  If you do well, the job could grow into covering school events and activities.

If you are interested, please email me from your school email, explaining why you would make a good journalist.  Also, write a short article about a recent assembly – make sure you include:

  • WHAT? What is our theme and what was the assembly about?
  • WHO? Who took the assembly?
  • WHY/HOW? Why is the assembly theme important and how can we learn from it and act on it in school and in our wider lives?

Make sure you check your spelling and punctuation carefully – it needs to be correct for the website and I haven’t got time to correct it.

Calendar

Jan 092016
 
  • Do you need a new wall  calendar for 2016?

  • Why not make your own?

Get a free printable blank calendar from the Internet – you could

Then create some artwork or find pictures for each month – could be

  • your own artwork – drawing, painting,…
  • your own artwork on the computer –  there are some ideas and tools here
  • individual pictures or a collage of pictures cut from magazines

Have fun and be curios and creative!
