The children have been working so hard on building suspense in their stories by incorporating similes, metaphors, short sentences and ellipsis.

Today – they were challenged to work collaboratively to write a story. They listened to music, looking at images of setting and looked at story starters to get their creativity flowing.

The level of work produced was absolutely fantastic and they were able to peer assess another groups writing afterwards too. This shows their level of understanding on how to build suspense in a story.
