Creative writing – choose one of the prompts from this set to do each day. Remember to sit at a table and have a sharp pencil, as it helps keep your writing neat. Also remember; what do you need to use to start a sentence, between words and at the end of the sentence. Ask whoever is helping you for key word spellings and make your own word mats with them on so you can use another time. Talk to them about your ideas first if it helps, then have a go on your own. Use a book, with lines on, if you can’t print the things out.
