Once upon a time....

...Class 4 were asked to create stories in groups based on themes we have been looking at in class. These themes included fairy tales, fantasy and stories set in a familiar context. Each group was given time to prepare a group story telling and they were also challenged to include three out of six plot ideas provided. Some chose to share the speaking parts....
....while other groups opted to have a main narrator and use the rest of the group to scare the living daylights out of the audience at the moment of their cliffhanger ending!

All groups were judged on their use of characterisation, team work and ideas.

The judge's results were very close indeed! Kallista, Frankie, Taylor and Bella came in joint first place with a group of Charles, Saville and Emma earning them a team point each. Charles in particular deserves a special mention as he narrated his entire fantasy story (supported by Saville's sound effects and Emma's cameo turn) completely from memory with such a richness of detail that Mr Sturgess became so absorbed he forgot to take a picture of the group! Charles rightly earned an extra team point for this outstanding contribution to a fantastic lesson. Class 4 have a great imagination - well done!
