Here is this week’s blogging challenge:
Write a poem, any style you wish about the picture above.
However there are some rules. You are not allowed to use the word… THE!
Try using features such as alliteration, metaphors and similes as well as lots of adjectives to make your poem more appealing!
Congratulations to Ben for winning last weeks challenge to tweet about his hero!

Your homework this weekend is quite difficult! People who use Twitter, like our school Twitter account, can only ever use 140 characters per tweet, so they have to be very precise in their writing. Your ‘tweet’ needs to tell everyone who your hero is and as much about them as you can in just in 140 characters. It is a lot harder than it seems! In your tweet you must include:
1. A comma
2. An adverb
3. An apostrophe for possession
Remember – spaces and punctuation marks count as characters.
Here is an example of my tweet about my hero:
‘Sean O’loughlin. He’s Wigan’s captain. He is immensely strong, a leader .He always tries his best and never gives in. He’s a born winner.’
I’m looking forward to your tweets! I wonder who will take the trophy home this week?

For our research of south american landmarks, follow the following link to choose which one you would like to create your poster about.
Welcome me to the weekly writing challenges. Each week the challenge is a little different and the winner gets to take home the fantastic writer of the week trophy, to show off just how amazing they are at writing!
Your first challenge is to write a diary entry. Imagine this is our class pet, it is your turn to take him home this weekend and write about all of the things you got up to with it! But was it well behaved? Or was it extremely mischievous? You decide! However, you cannot use the word AND in your writing!
im looking forward to seeing your entries!
Mr Lyons
Yesterday we we had lots of fun down at Trencherfield mill, having a go at canoeing with Jeff and Ste and then completing a fun science experience all about upthrust and what happens to water when we place an object in it with Les. I’m sure we all agree it was quite tiresome in the strong winds (it even made Ste ‘s hat blow off of his head into the water!), but it was really fun none the less! I’d really like to know, what was your favourite part of the day?
