Home/School - Character building

KS1/Foundation, KS2
Writing

We're partnering up with the National Literacy Trust and for this week's challenge we'd like you and your family to develop a character, using our role on the wall technique. This is a really fun way to make notes about what a character looks like on the outside, AND what they are like on the inside. Everything you need can be found in this pack.

Watch the recorded Facebook Live event that took place on 2 February with TV presenter Ben Shires and author Helena Pielichaty. 

The link to the Facebook event is: Premier League takeover with Helena Pielichaty (facebook.com)

Once you've completed the challenge, share your characters with us @PLCommunities using #PrimaryStars and #WeAreOneTeam or email them to us PLPrimaryStars@premierleague.com.

This is part of our series of weekly challenges for 2021.
