A 50 word story (and there's more to come).

Jacqui’s Mystery: part 1

Jacqui was on a walk to the park, but it was more of a graveyard. There was nobody around, not even an animal in  the trees. When she looked around she had company. But she didn’t find them familiar in any way. What was going to happen to her now?

French lessons

For the past 10 weeks Year 5&6 have had half an hour sessions with a teacher from St Joseph’s School called Mrs Milne. She has helped our French knowledge grow. After good quality work she put on an assembly for the Parents/Carers of Year 5&6 to come in and see them perform. For the last couple of weeks they started to make a French PowerPoint or did French posters of their house or their bedroom. Inbetween showing the children’s work, they sang some French songs. The children had worked really hard at putting their projects together.

Year 5 & 6 would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Milne for all her effort and hard work. All of the children that did a PowerPoint or a poster did extremely well by standing and showing in front of the whole school and all of the parents. Mrs Milne is a great French teacher. I think that everyone would agree with that.

When the assembly had finished the parents had a look all around the hall at the posters about their houses. Then it was the end. After that had finished it was the end of Miss Milne’s time at Ashfield Junior School. We wish Mrs Milne the very best of luck at her new school.

Author visit

Yesterday a children’s author visited us.  Adrian Townsend has written 7 books so far, the most popular is Gran's Gang.

He lives in Oxford and has to travel to different schools to talk to children on how to stick at reading because people who read are more successful in life! He also taught us how to be a writer. He gave us tips: 1) choose a place to write where you will feel comfortable and calm, 2) have a nice pen, and 3) have a good notebook to write in.  Adrian told us to look at things and then think 'what if?' For example he saw a gang of boys and thought what if they were a gang of grannies. 

He also mentioned about following your dreams,  because when he was little he wanted to be a writer and look at him now, he is not just any random person who writes stories he is actually a published author. It takes him 2 to 3 months to write one book.

He also writes scripts for plays (for adults). He would usually write a bit of a book one week and then do a script the next. He has written roughly 10 plays.

Katie's 50 Word Story

Sitting on my sofa watching TV, a ghost sat next to me saying, “Alice, what are you watching?”

  A cold breeze made me shiver while the invisible hand reached for the TV controller.  I was alarmed. It switched to Eastenders!  Eventually it put the controller back on the sofa’s arm.
