This week, Year 6 have been honing their writing skills by focusing on the 'show don't tell' technique. This method involves displaying a character's emotions through actions and descriptions rather than simply stating that they are anxious, happy, excited, etc.

To put this technique into practice, the students retold an exciting scene from Boy in the Tower by Polly Ho-Yen, where the character Ade is racing back to his home. Through their writing, the children vividly conveyed Ade's emotions, creating a more immersive and engaging narrative.

Well done, Year 6, for your hard work and creativity in mastering this important writing skill!
