Pirate stories!

Over the last two weeks we have been very busy creating our own pirate adventure stories. We did lots of planning, including thinking about and drawing pictures of our characters, acting out stories and thinking of good words and phrases we could use in our stories. Reception have all written their stories and made a front cover, which we have made into books. Mrs Batson, Mrs Waites and I are all extremely proud of their hard work and the brilliant stories they created - I know Miss Worsley was impressed with them! Some children were so keen to write they filled pages and pages - Aaron's story, The Golden Sand, was six pages long! Here are some extracts from our stories.
