Mr Tyson gave P6/7 a Hallowe’en Writing Challenge. The class had to choose from either preparing an imaginative potion or a short piece of descriptive writing such as local newspaper report of a scary Hallowe’en Event.

The class agreed that they had to

• use lots of adjectives and they could make up their own ones too.
• use alliteration if it was appropriate.
• create their own new words if they were needed for their story or potion.
• use an appropriate layout, e.g. title, description, ingredient list, clear instructions.
• work with a critical friend to read and give feedback to their finished work. All within 45 minutes!
