2. Once Upon A Robot- Story Competition
Can you write a story where the main character is a robot?
Your story can be set on another planet where he or she has travelled to. It can be a story about how your robot gets into trouble because they do things wrong and gets into trouble with its owners. Maybe your robot could go on holiday with you. The choice is yours!
TOP TIPS FOR STORY WRITING
Have a beginning, middle and end for your story.
Use lots of description so that your reader can create a picture of your story.
Give your main character some kind of problem to solve as this will give you a good structure
Describe your robot
E.g. The enormous silvery head turned towards me, then he smiled…”
Good Luck!
Entries can be uploaded to this site for entry

Class Dojo
Our class reward system is Class Dojos.
Children can earn them for having a positive attitude towards their work, effort, a high standard of work, teamwork, caring for others, challenging themselves and many more.
Children will be rewarded with prizes / certificates.
However, class dojos can also be lost for unacceptable behaviour, lack of homework etc.
Please remember that we are always in school early and at the door if you need a quick word and if it needs more time then we can make an appointment for before or after school. It is better to come and talk to us than worry about something that we can solve together.
We really appreciate your support and look forward to working with your child as this year progresses.
Football news will follow as we go along and revision clubs will continue on Tuesday and Thursday after school.
