English Home Learning - Year 3

29 th September 2017

This week in English, we have been exploring biographies. I would now like you to choose someone (famous or not) that inspires you and write their biography. Perhaps someone in your family really inspires you or a special teacher? Their biography should include -

An introduction - Who are they? Why are they famous/special to you? Their early life Career / adult life Significant achievements Conclusion - why do they inspire you?

You can present your home learning in any way you choose:- A presentation - A booklet - On lined paper

It would be great if we could display your amazing work around our classroom so that we can share all of our inspirations! Children who put in lots of effort will be rewarded.
