Our elder world, with all their skill and arts
Could but divide the world into three parts.
Columbus then for navigation famed
Found a new world, America 'tis named.
Now this new world was found, it was not made,
Only discovered lying in time's shade.
Then what are you, having no chaos found
To make a world, or any such least ground?
But your creating fancy thought it fit
To make your world of nothing but pure wit.
Your blazing world beyond the stars mounts higher,
Enlightens all with a celestial fire.
--William Newcastle
Year 4 are going to be writing stories set in imaginary worlds! This term, they'll have the chance to create a podcast, and we'll begin to explore digital stories!
L.O. To understand that authors use sketches and drawings to inspire imaginary worlds
We are going to explore a strange planet known as 'The Blazing World'. We'll write stories set in this world, play around with digital photographs to create locations, and record a podcast of our adventures! But to do so we'll going to need a ship!
The Blazing World is made up of a series of extremely odd islands! You need to design the submarine used to explore these islands!
Homework: Create a 'finished' draft of your own 'cut away' on a sheet of blank A4. Label it carefully with a ruler and pencil. We'll be writing a story based on this ship next week! (P.S. You can make the ship 'girly', if you like: why shouldn't the crew have soft furnishings, a pony trek room and a make-up salon!)
We'll scan the finished designs, and display them on the blog using bubbleshare!
P.S. Don't forget your parents to e-mail and sign-up for the Falcons School for Girls book club!
