IMPORTANT MESSAGE

This is the 5 Sentence Challenge which is a creative writing challenge for young emerging writers who are just starting out with their writing. It is not for fluent writers who should visit 100 Word Challenge as that is more appropriate for them!

Thank you so much for all the entries to the picture of the vets last time. Here are the showcase pieces. Remember, they are not the best but had something about them!

********** SHOWCASE #6 **********

Bailea at Our Lady of the Southern Cross, Wynhamvale,

Dan in Yr.2 at High Lawn Primary

Chloe in Yr.1 via SJBTeaching

George in Yr.2 at Moorland Federation

Elbie in Yr.3 at St Michael on the Mount, Bristol

********************

I have been away for a few days on holiday and that is why I’m a bit behind with my comments on the children’s work. I will get to them eventually so don’t worry! I thought it might be good fun to get them thinking about my trip. I went to New York in America. It has lots of sky scrapers and of course the Statue of Liberty. So the theme for this challenge is this picture of New York. It is not a real photograph but shows what it is like.

If this is your first visit here do read ‘How to Enter the Challenges’ If you are still a bit muddled leave me a comment below or tweet me (@theheadsoffice) and I’ll help you out.

Please make sure you visit other entries. It is really important that children develop a sense of community and support by going to other schools to leave a constructive comment. It is a good teaching point!

The link will stay open until 30th May

The post 5 Sentence Challenge #4 appeared first on 100 Word Challenge.

URGENT!

• Please make sure that you post the correct challenge. We had some 100 Word Challenge pieces last week. They do not have Team100WC looking at them. Please take care and read the title of the post!
• Please make sure that children who post here are not able to do 100WC. This is a precursor to more fluent writing and is not really for those children who are already confident writers
• Please make sure you visit some other entries. It could be a good exercise to do it on a Thursday morning when the link is closed so that you can visit the last ones to come in.

The post 5 Sentence Challenge #3 appeared first on 100 Word Challenge.

Well done everyone!

What an amazing response to the first 5 Sentence Challenge. We had so many entries. Some of them were from children who should be trying the 100 Word Challenge because they are really developed writers. Go on, have a go!

Here are somne posts that I think deserve to be read again. They are not necessarily the best pieces but do show lots of promise!

********** WEEK#1 SHOWCASE **********

Jack from Yr.1 at High Lawn Primary

Oliver from Yr.1 at South End Infants

Alek from Yr.1/2 at Galley Hill School

********************

If you are new to this challenge, here are the rules:

• Children write 5 complete sentences. That means full stops and capital letters. They can be any length but must be correct sentences
• These are posted on your class blog (if you do not have a class blog but would like to take part please leave a message in the comments)
•  The URL of the post should be linked below together with the writer’s christian name, year group and school
• Children should be encouraged to go and read some of the other entries. That is how we get our ideas!
• Entries can be from individuals. pairs, small groups or even classes.
• The link will be open for TWO weeks (until 29th February)

As you will see from that date, this year is a LEAP year. That is when there is an extra day in February. So, I would like you to think about:

Jumping, Running and Skipping

Let’s get physical!
