Budding authors enjoying their work...

Our Year 5 Literacy group have recently finished writing their first book! Having been inspired by the Greek myths they have come across in both Topic and Literacy lessons, each of the children in the group has drafted, edited, written and published their own Greek myth, complete with heroes, fantasy creatures, and many of the inhabitants of Mount Olympus too. The book – titled “Great Greek Myths,” which contains all fourteen stories, has proved very popular around the school. Copies have been given to Mr Grisdale, Miss Horwell’s Literacy group, Miss Kirstie (whose Year 3 class are studying Greek myths) and the Library here at the school. It is brilliant to read what other children in the class have been writing, and the children have had lots of fun seeing what happens in each other’s stories.
This is the first book that Year 5 have produced, but judging by the quality of the writing, it should not be the last!
