End of Unit

As the unit comes to an end, we have been busy planning for our final expressive piece of writing. Either a story or a play/filmscript inspired by one of our poems.

Using Roald Dahl we have drawn out a story line and spent some time talking, planning and modifying our creative  pieces.
