Writing activities

Three things to try

You can write, draw, or tell a grown-up what to say. A plain piece of paper is every bit as welcome as a journal.

If you jumped into your book, where would you land?

This one comes from Pip's question in My Reading Adventures, our reading journal for ages 6 to 10. It works with any book, from a picture book to a chapter book, and it needs nothing but paper and a pencil.

Listen first, then look

This is Pip's tip from a Big find page in My Nature Adventures, our printable nature journal for ages 6 to 10. You can do it in a garden, a park, on the way to school or at an open window.

A sentence that made you smile, laugh or gasp

This follows the 'Words I loved' pages in My Reading Adventures, our reading journal for ages 6 to 10. Each page has room for two sentences, the book, the page number and a way to mark the feeling: smile, laugh, gasp, wow or cosy.
