Here’s a Challenge…

​

  • Seek out an opportunity to respond to a curiosity, interest or passion of a small group of children.
  • Decide on the ‘best fit’ links to the curriculum and/or genre and the children’s learning needs.
  • Use the passion/interest/ curiosity to engage the children through the writing cycle.
  • Gather student voice along the way, take photos, collect artefacts and learning pebbles.
  • Be ready to share at the end of the term.
