Holiday Snapshot Writing

We have a few more Holiday Snapshot recounts completed. 
We are learning to write about a short space of time.

We will know we can do this when:
- we have written about no more than seven minutes of a personal experience
- included adjectives to describe feelings, tastes, smells and what we see
- described our thoughts and emotions.


Click on the comments below to see our fabulous Holiday Snap Shot Stories. Student's work will be published as it is completed.

Completed Lead Lights




Sorry it has taken so long to get the lead light pictures up but I wanted to make sure we had a photo of everyone. Don't they look fabulous? Well done everyone. If it was possible to do this again is there anything you would do differently?
