This week, Year 3 have been reading the book 'The Matchbox Diaries'. On their voyage to America, the ship hits a storm.  The children have reenacted a storm to help them develop ideas for vocabulary. They have planned their ideas and have written great descriptions using similes and adverbial phrases to add interest to their work.  Preparing for Year 4, they have tried paragraphing their writing to try and convey the buildup up of the brewing storm, the actual storm, and then the passing of the storm and the returning of calm waters. I am really proud of their efforts.
