Your Topic!
This week we thought we would mix things up a bit! It can be really hard to keep motivated when you have been away from school for so long and every day brings us closer to the summer holidays. We wanted to think of a way to help you keep going, just a little longer and we thought, wouldn’t it be amazing if you could choose your own topic to focus on this week! So, for this week’s activities we have provided suggestions on how you can present your work and things to focus on within your chosen topic, but it really is a topic of your own choosing! It could be ANYTHING! Absolutely anything you are really interested in. It could be…. Trains Football or any other sport Formula One Something from history or the future A game (yes, even Minecraft!) Pirates A hobby A creature (Real or Imaginary) A famous person Technology Planes A film A book We could go on; the options are endless! Just remember to choose something that will really motivate and inspire you!, |

Here is an overview of our activities from Autumn & Spring Term. Here is a template. Write about: The activities you took part in. What you enjoyed & why? The work you most enjoyed, are proud of & why? Your experience of lockdown, what was it like for you? What did you do? What were your feelings & why? What you will miss & what you look forward to next year. Try to structure this piece of writing into 3 paragraphs, Autumn Term, Spring Term & Summer Term (Lockdown).
