STORY OF ME WEEK 3

My author sent me next week's phrase: "the children played with the queen".

Today it is so dark that even the flash doesn't help!

STORY OF ME PROJECT WEEK 1 AND 2

Mrs. Susannah Jeffries, a class teacher for P2A,  had the brilliant idea of uniting 6 years old with illustrators.

Mrs. Jeffries explains all on her website:  https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/fi/creativelearning/2017/02/26/the-story-of-me-making-words-memorable/

This project will run throughout March!

Before I show my illustrations, I will not name the child attributed to me for privacy reasons nor will I share her photos. She will be illustrated every week, it's part of the project.

Here's my illustrations/collaboration with my author:

Week one my author sent me the following phrase: '________(name of the child) is an author. What has she been doing today?'

Week two my author's phrase is: 'She is thinking of stories for children. She is going to write about a queen.'

 What will my author send me for the next weeks???
