Write stuff Group - The Land all covered in trees...


"They sailed to the Western Sea, they did, To a land all covered with trees, And they bought an Owl, and a useful Cart, And a pound of Rice, and a Cranberry Tart, And a hive of silvery Bees. And they bought a Pig, and some green Jack-daws, And a lovely Monkey with lollipop paws, And forty bottles of Ring-Bo-Ree, And no end of Stilton Cheese. Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies live; Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to sea in a Sieve.

What happened in the land all covered with trees and why did they stay so long?

Write a letter home from one of the Jumblies to send in a bottle. Describe some of the daily routines in the land all covered with trees and one extraordinary event that occured. Use your book to draft some ideas and then type up your finished work into the blog. Your letter home should be between 450 and 500 words long. Add it to the blog when you are ready but at the latest by Tuesday 1st November. Use one blank page to draw, in coloured pencil, a portrait of a Jumbly.

My favourite book

This is a difficult choice. I would however, after considering books by Thomas Eidson, pick The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck. This beautifully written book paints such a captivating picture of people struggling to find their way in the world. I love it.

Ness the Nurse is another favourite of mine.

What is your favourite book? Please remember to leave your name on the form when you submit your comments.
