To explore our current text, "After the Storm", the children took to the stage for a dynamic partner freeze-frame task. It was brilliant to see the classroom buzzing with respectful listening and creative energy. The pupils have already gathered a treasure trove of superb vocabulary, and they are now fully primed to bring their own familiar-setting stories to life. What is your favourite story to tell?
