Year 5/6 Writing Task

Mr Roundtree needs your help. He’s been writing lots of website news articles recently, but has started to suffer writers’ block – that the name for when authors run out of ideas.

The articles are for parents and carers to read, and they offer top tips and other guidance to support parents and carers with their child’s home learning. Your task is write an article on his behalf – are you up for this writing challenge?

When you have written your article, please send it to your class teachers. The best ones will be posted on the website at the end of the week. Good luck!
