100 Word Challenge
This week we have a special prompt provided by World Vision.
World Vision is an international children’s charity, focusing on improving the lives of children in some of the world’s toughest places’
This is Andualem.
Andualem is 12 and he lives in Ethiopia. He’s tucking into a big plate of his favourite food, injera. Injera is a special Ethiopian pancake that you eat with your hands – you tear off a strip, dab it in spicy sauce, and then try to get it in your mouth before you drop any!
Injera is also a meal that you share with your family and friends – it often comes on a big plate so that everyone can gather round and enjoy it at the same time.
Right now, children all over the world are hungry, because they don’t have enough food to eat, but there is enough food to feed everyone if, like Andualiem, we could all learn to share what we have.
Write a message about this to Andualem and others, starting with…
‘If we share…’
As usual, you have 100 words to add to these 3. If you are not sure what to do, please look at the tabs at the top of the page which should help. If you still have questions, leave them below as a comment or contact me on twitter @theheadsoffice
Year 4P have a go at the 100 wc - remember only 100 words! Post your stories in the comments section by 23rd March 2013
Design a Car for the Future Competition!
As part of our Exit Point for the Term 2 topic 'Inventions and Machines' we are going to hold a design competition.
You have to design a car for the future and explain the features and how it will work. Maybe it will be an environmentally friendly car or maybe a new sports car - the choice is yours.
When you come back after the end of term 2 holidays you need to bring in a picture that you have drawn and a written explanation about your car. Remember to put your name and class on the picture.
Your entries will be judged by an official car designer who works for Jaguar Land Rover and he will pick the top 3 entries and award an official certificate.
So get your thinking caps on and start to design!
Good Luck everyone.
