We have been using the book 'The Day the Crayons Quit' by Drew Daywalt as the inspiration for some journalistic writing. In the book, the crayons go on strike because they don't like the way they are being looked after by their owner. In year 6, we imagined that all the stationery in our classrooms decided to go on strike too- just before our SATs- and we wrote newspaper articles about this dramatic event. We came up with some excellent headlines. 'Pencil Pot Panic' and 'Stationery Shutdown' are two of our favourites. We also tried to meet our literacy targets using adventurous vocabulary and embedded clauses in our writing. Come and have a look at what we have been up to!
