Room 7's Writing

Today Room 7 has been focussing on writing a descriptive beginning to a story. We used this picture of a mysterious tree as our inspiration. We acted out what it would be like standing in front of this old ancient tree. Our aim was to add precise adjectives to describe what we see.

Here are the beginnings of our stories.
