We also enjoyed solving Reese's Riddle (see Y4 Blog).
Hope it's helped our thinking skills!!
We've also been reading an adventurous story. You'll find it in the library as a play if you want to. It's called Tom and the Smugglers of Mourne.
It made us think about how to write exciting story openers. If it's a good one, you want to find out what happens next. So we thought we'd have a go.
Mrs Hunt brought in an atmospheric picture of the Suspension Bridge by the River Avon to inspire us.It was a night time picture.
Here are Holli and Erik's story openers which they have written for you to continue if you'd like to:-
The Monster of the Gorge
One dark night the water of the Avon Gorge rose higher than normal.
I, Henry Williams, asked my older brother if he wanted to go blackberry picking and take the camcorder.
Ben said, "Yes".
So we got there and suddenly we saw a mysterious light glowing in the water.
So we videoed it.
Very slowly it rose out the water.
We fainted.........
The Mystery of the Avon Gorge
One mysterious night it felt like someone was watching me as I walked along the river bank.
But I just carried on walking. Then I looked in the water and I saw lots of ripples. Suddenly I heard a spooky sound tap tap tap and there was something green reflected in the water........
While we are on the subject of atmosphere, in art we have been exploring colours and how they are connected to mood. We thought about colours which were happy, sad, hot and cold. We all made an Egyptian Landscape in one colour. Only the shade of it changed. Come and see what you think of them!!
