The children are enjoying their swimming lessons and they love spending time in the water. They have recently been learning about the importance of water safety, and have enjoyed playing games in the pool during their sessions.

In English, we have been enjoying looking at short stories. To encoorportae this with Halloween, the children were excited to write their own ‘Spooky’ short story. We looked at different ways to open a short story in order to catch the reader's attention. We also looked at short sentences to create tension and the diamond moment, where the writer makes one important part of their story really stand out and shine! Take a look at the wonderful writing of the children in Macaw class.
