I loved how the red umbrella stood out in the sea of black umbrellas. At the start, I didn’t even see the clock tower. What caught your eye and what did you think?

There are 5 different writing tasks:

• Story starter!
• Question time!

Choose your favourite one and write. Use either paper or pen or a google document.

Do more than one if you wish.

Finish this story.

Think about the characters. What is the problem or issue? How is it going to be resolved?

Think about these questions.

If you don’t understand what some of the words mean look them up in a dictionary.

Answer them using full sentences.

For example, I think the significance of the clocktower is… because...

What is a simile?

Use adjectives (describing words) to make these sentences interesting.

Describe the rain or the umbrellas or the clocktower.

May the fourth be with you

May the fourth is the unofficial Star Wars or Jedi day that celebrates the Star Wars story. The date was chosen for the pun on the catchphrase "May the Force be with you".

A pun is a joke that makes a play on words, typically by using words that sound similar but have different meanings. It can also use different meanings of the same word to make the saying funny.

Here are some examples: 

Maybe you could come up with some puns of your own then share them with me.

Star Wars has many flying aircraft, maybe you could make your own out of lego or boxes. 

Or you could:

WATCH: How to fold 5 incredible paper planes

TALK: What plane do you think is the most exciting or interesting?
What one do you think does the best tricks? What happens in a competition?
What about a class competition for stunt planes in our bubbles?

DO: Create your own stunt plane competition. Follow the instructions in the video to create the 5 different paper planes. Allocate a panel of judges (try and include family members if they are free), choosing a scoring system and categories to judge them off - these could be height, flips, distance, etc. Hold your competition and find out the winner.

Thanks to Schoolkit@home for this idea.
Here is a link to a paper plane launcher too.

by nature or by man. What do you think?
