We were amazed to read the news headlines on the screen telling us we were going on an Egyptian adventure!We have started to plan out a great story that may lead us into all sorts of dangers and excitement! We have used many different skills for our story building. We have needed to plan and describe our setting, our characters, the problems we may meet and how we solve them. We need to research online and through texts to get useful facts that we can weave into our story. We need to remember the importance of vocabulary, connectives, openers and punctuation in a great piece of writing. We look forward to sharing all this with you!
