    Bonjour les enfants !

    Watch a ‘Trotro’ cartoon with a grown up on this Youtube channel, and then tell your grown up what the story was all about.









    Why not try this working in this artist's style of art or just appreciate the art work he achieves as suggested by Ms West: she says "
    This lovely video about an artist called David Zinn = Google him and he comes straight up.

    He does beautiful 3D street art - little fantasy characters that he builds around a crack in the pavement or a tuft of grass..."

    English WB 18.05.20

    Writing 
    These 5 lessons are based on: Ruckus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ji1KM1BbAyY

    Lesson 1: LO to plan a newspaper report using the 5W's
    This week, we will be working towards writing a newspaper report about the train robbery. Watch this clip that explains how to write a great newspaper report: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z2yycdm/articles/z2gk9qt

    There might be some parts of the story that are unknown so you can use your imagination to complete the story. The key to writing a good newspaper report:
    - 5W's 
    - Third person
    - Reported and direct speech
    - Chronological order
    - Factual 
    - Accurate description


    Task 1: Use the story tracker to retell the story in chronological order. You can bullet point each part. 
    Example:
    1) Early in the morning a train took it's daily trip through the scorching dessert. 

    2) Two wanted men waited on a cliff near by 




    Task 2: 
    In order to make your newspaper report informative you can use the 5W's. Watch the 'Ruckus' video again and have a go at answering the 5W's.
    What happened?
    When did it happen?
    Where did it happened?
    Who did it involve?
    Why did it happen?


    Lesson 2 - To write the opening of a newspaper report
    Task 1: Read each sentence and identify if the underlined phrase is telling you where, when, what, who or why.
    1) On Monday 13th April 2020, two wanted men were found in a railway carriage. 
    2) Frank and Jesse Green had been wanted by the Sahara Police Department for 6 months.
    3) Early yesterday morning in the Sahara desert, two wanted men were discovered. 
    4) When the men were caught, they were in the middle of a heist that involved a rare diamond. 
    5) The men are known for stealing valuable goods and couldn't resist trying to steal the diamond that was travelling to it's new owner. 


    Task 2:
    Using the 5W's you identified yesterday, have a go at forming it in to one paragraph. Think about when it happened and when you are reporting it. For example if the incident happened yesterday morning you might begin the paragraph with:
    Yesterday morning in the Sahara desert an unimaginable incident occurred. 

    Remember you don't to give the whole story away in your introduction so try to just briefly explain what happened.


    Lesson 3: LO to use inverted commas to punctuate speech
    Direct speech is used in newspaper reports to tell us exactly what someone said when they were interviewed. We use inverted commas to indicate the persons exact words.
     Jeff Martin, who was the man driving the train, said "there was a sudden bang from one of the carriages but I was unable to stop the train to find out what had happened"


    Task 1: Imagine you attended the scene just after it took place and you had to ask questions to identify what had happened.Using reported speech write what each of these people could have said when they were interviewed:
    The train driver:

    Frank:

    Jesse:

    The diamond owner:

    Man sitting on the train:
    Lesson 4 - LO to write using the third person
    At this point, you should have now completed your introduction and have direct speech that can be used throughout the report. Your story tracker that you made in Lesson 1 will help you to write the main body of your newspaper report. This is the part where you explain what happened in chronological order. 

    Third person uses pronouns such as: 'he', 'she', 'it' on.r 'they'. It differs from the first-person, which uses pronouns such as 'I' and 'me' and from the second-person, which uses pronouns such as 'you' and 'yours'. When writing your report, you must remain in third person. 


    Read this example newspaper report about lottery winners to help you. 




    Lesson 5 - LO create a headline
    Headlines are found, in different forms, in print newspapers, on radio and TV news and on Internet news sites.They are the main title of the news stories. They help to 'tell and sell: Tell’ = telling people what the news story is about. ‘Sell’ = making people want to buy the paper to know more about the story.

    Newspaper headlines need to be:
    Eye-catching
    A title for the news story
    Short and snappy.

    Task 1: Look at these headlines, can you predict what the news story might be about?


    Task 2: Have a go at creating 5 headlines for your newspaper report. Put a * next to your favourite headline
