Nifty Narratives

Room 1 have been learning to write imaginary narratives. We know that they are written to entertain our audience and that they should include a problem and a solution. We have also been working on adding some descriptions to characters to make our stories interesting. We hope you enjoy our published work that comes home this weekend.
