100 word challenge - week 3
The prompt is a little different this week. It is a picture! You need to look carefully and imagine a story. You then have 100 words to tell that story.
You might like to tell it from the elephant’s point of view or maybe a human looking at it. You choose!
The 100 Word Challenge is for anyone under 16. You write your story then post it on our class blog as usual and when it has been moderated, I can link it to the challenge page.
You can come back at any time and click on the other entries and leave comments.

Half term homework
As just discussed in class, your half term homework is as follows:
http://www.recyclenow.com/
http://www.recyclezone.org.uk/home.aspx
The Sustainables
http://www.littlerotters.org.uk/
http://www.matmi.com/games/landfillbill/
Carbon Detectives
- Think about the games you played today. They were all fun and taught you something about the 3Rs or the environment. Can you design and make one of your own? Remember, it can be a twist on a game you already play at home.
- Write a blog post about today's trip. You could: say what you learnt; describe what we did; explain how you are going to put the 3Rs into practise at home or say why more people need to know about how to reduce, reuse and recycle.
- Spend some time working on your revision books!
