St. Peter's Primary Bray Blog

Hi, I’m Robert and I’m in 5th class. I like writing all types of stories and my favourite books are ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’, ‘Big Nate’ and ‘The boy in the Striped Pyjamas’.

Our school is taking part in the Write A Book project. You get to write a book on whatever you want to. I’m going to be blogging over the next few weeks to tell you how my class is getting on.

So far, we’ve picked four suggestions for stories we might write. We picked four so that we had more choice to pick from. My story is about a king with a stammer. My other three choices included a story of what the fox really says, a biography of Muhammad Ali and the life of Bruce Lee. I chose my one because I saw ‘The King’s Speech’ over Christmas and I could see how I could write a new story based on it.

Tonight, we’re going to storyboard our book. This is so we can plan our beginning, middle and ending. We have a special copy for our first draft. We’re going to write our story on every second line so that it’ll be easier to edit.

I think the hardest part is going to be editing my book, but I’m really looking forward to writing the story. Most of my class have picked their stories but some aren’t sure.

That’s all – I’ll keep you updated!

Robert
