The most exciting part is that JK Rowling would like you to illustrate The Ickabog for her. Every day, she'll be making suggestions for what you might like to draw. You can enter the official competition being run by her publishers, for the chance to have your artwork included in a printed version of the book due out later this year. Sheβll be giving suggestions as to what to draw as we go along, but you should let your imagination run wild.

This week I want you to think about how people try to make other people buy things by persuading them. When you watch TV and adverts appear, I want you to make a list of all the things that they do or have in their adverts that attracts a person to their product.
Write a list of the adverts and the what they have included that makes you or an adult like the advert. Ask an adult to tell you what makes an advert appeal to them. This link will help you identify features and gives some examples-
Your task is to choose an interesting and fun toy at home (ideas include: A Lego set, a talking doll/teddy, a racing car set) and plan an advert that you are going to make to persuade others to buy this toy.
The language needs to convince people to buy the product so it needs to be persuasive! This can be by using phrases such as: 'best toy you will ever buy!' OR by using questions: 'Are you looking for a toy that will keep you super fit AND thatβs amazing fun? Then you need β¦!' OR it could be persuasive by blinding the audience with facts, figures and exaggerated descriptive language: 'This awesome toy has 200 different sounds that are sure to amaze you!'

To complete this challenge you will require washing basket, bucket or box, 10 of 4 or 5 different items to throw into the basket e.g. 10 rolled socks, a pen and paper.
Decide where the throw line will be, then grab your item e.g. the socks, stand behind the line and then see how many you can throw into the basket in 30 seconds. Depending on how fast you are and how many pairs of socks you have, you might need to quickly retrieve the socks, run back to the throw line and carry on for the 30 seconds .
Make a note of how many socks hit the target in that time, you will then need to repeat the exercise but with your next item. Then, using that data, draw a bar chart showing how many items you managed to get into the basket.

Imagine a pebble on it's journey through a river. Your task is to write a simile poem to describe the journey. Similes compare two things by using the words 'like' or 'as'. For example - The lava spewing from the volcano was like an enormous fountain. The river's current was as fast as a gale in a storm.
Example - Pebble in my Pocket Simile Poem - "Rocks fell from cliffs like confetti. Crashing to the ground, they gathered in a pile at the foot of the cliff. As large as cars, boulders towered threateningly over smaller pebbles and rocks." DO NOT COPY - Use as inspiration. (As _______ as______) or (Like _________)

Feeling proud of yourself has a lot to do with the way you live your life. Of course good results can help you feel more proud of yourself but even if you got no results your behaviour can make you feel really proud.
Everyday this week I would like you to write 1 thing that you feel proud about. This could be something you have accomplished or even something you have attempted but failed. Simple ideas could be: "I am proud of myself today because I tidied my room without being asked by the adults at home."
