Sharing our stories and work with other people If you write stories then they should be for other people to read and enjoy not just for the teacher to mark. It will help you get GCSE’s and a job It might help you to become an author one day and give you a career Writing shows the true you If it’s for others to read then it makes you improve your handwriting Allowing people to write in different styles and express themselves in different ways Showing it to our families Showing Mrs Kirkham and Mrs Leach Displaying our work on the walls around the school Showing it to our Mums and Dads Sharing our work with others because then we get to hear how much other people like it and you feel proud Showing it to our Nan and Gramp Creating a showcase of our work for everyone to see Sending letters to the actual people – it’s great when you get a reply. Writing to Julia Donaldson It makes you feel really proud when your work is put on display Making actual book of your story and being able to show it to others Letters are purposeful if you actually send them because they could make someone’s day. Helping me practise ready to become a bestselling author It gives you chance to express your ideas and let others read them	What do you enjoy most about writing? Writing from my imagination Writing non-fiction reports about things we learn in class Non-fiction because you get to learn new facts and information Stories because you can be creative Practising my handwriting I enjoy that I can choose what happens When everyone is writing its quiet Writing songs Getting to share my ideas with others as they don’t always listen when I talk Writing about funny bones – that was fun! Finding out new facts and writing about them Expressing yourself in a way that you can’t always when speaking Joining up my handwriting – I’m getting better at it Writing letters to people – especially good when you get a reply Letters – letters can make someone’s day – my Gran loves getting letters Making our own books Stories – your imagination can go wild! Writing about sharks and animals Writing lets me say what’s on my mind and then I feel better Making up stories Riddles and funny poems which make people laugh Poems are good because they ate creative Making books with pictures and stories Showing people how creative and imaginative I am Expressing my ideas and thoughts It’s time to be peaceful and allows you to think and be calm Your imagination can flow and you create something of your own which no-one can say is wrong My mind can go free It’s great fun!

22nd September	Is the harvest of the world shared equally? No because some people don’t have any money or food No because we waste food No countries like Africa have nowhere to grow crops No we are lucky other countries aren’t The harvest isn’t shared equally because some people are starving Some people can’t fish – there are no fish Some countries are too hot and have no rain Some countries have droughts Some people don’t have proper homes We need to share food so no one dies Some people have no clean water or homes Homeless people starve Some people are poor and don’t have enough Some people in the world are greedy	Are there ways that we can help? How can we play our part? Share with other people Send food to them Don’t waste your food Help the elderly Donate food to places that don’t have as much Share food you don’t like Give food to homeless people Give to shelters Stop wasting Sue Donald Trump because he is building a wall to stop the Mexicans and that’s not sharing Make apple pie for others to eat – bake and deliver it Grow our own food – fruit and vegetables Make sure things are equal Shut down McDonalds and eat soup and veg Make clean water Write letters to help people have clean water
