RE Summer Term 2
Friday 19th July
We became fantasy authors this week in Year 1! Our challenge began by creating and describing characters and settings for our own story. We then made a story plan and using our descriptive writing had to add more to our fantasy story. We learnt all about the different features of fantasy stories and loved pretending to step through a portal into our own fantasy world! Here are some pictures of our reactions.
