Year 3-If you want to add comments.........

If you want to add comments ( and your teachers are really pleased if you do), please do not put your full name. Write your first name only.

Always remember to spell properly as well.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it...

For the last four weeks of the half term we will be reading and writing adventure and mystery stories.

Over the weekend, how about getting a head start by looking at your DVD collection and making a list of all the films (U or PG only please!) that you think might be classed as adventure or mystery, or both! Maybe you could persuade an adult at home to let you watch one and jot down the features - eg. what danger is there; where does the hero travel to; are any mysterious objects involved?

You can post your list on the blog by going to the 'comments' link at the bottom of this text. Write your list, with your FIRST NAME ONLY (You can put the first letter of your second name if someone has the same first name )at the bottom, then type in the weird word in the security box, whatever it is, click the anonymous box, and post!

Have fun! This message will self destruct in 5 seconds...
