Primary 7 love to write and Miss Hamilton set the challenge of writing a  short chapter book with a Halloween theme. As a class, we studied various Halloween-themed and horror books.  We put them into three categories:

• Horror
• Horror comedy
• Halloween theme

We decided our theme and audience and started to plan our stories. We created our own Success Criteria, stating what we thought would be in an engaging spooky story.

Over the week, we planned, wrote and edited our stories. We used Microsoft Publisher to create our books and covers. Once we had checked our own spelling, punctuation and grammar, we sent our stories off to the publishers (Miss Hamilton) to read them.

If our stories had been published, they would be printed for us to add illustrations. We can’t wait to share our stories with everyone at Halloween!
