Our next mission . . .

Anyway, Year 4 had been learning a lot more about the Titanic and making their posters, small hall display and postcards. BUT . . . we hadn't had another mission! It had been a few days and we hadn't had another envelope of instructions delivered. Mrs Hilton said we had to be patient (something we're not always great at!) and keep our eyes open.

Sure enough, on Tuesday we had another envelope delivered to our classroom. We were so excited, this is what it said:

The Titanic is one of the many tragedies that have happened at sea.

Your Special Mission - should you choose to accept it - is to write a story about a disaster at sea. The story could be based on a true story or it could be one you have created.

The story should be presented in an exciting way for others to read.

The work you produce must be of a very high standard.

Good Luck.

Our imaginations were on fire straight away! We are really good at story writing and we had lots of ideas. Mrs Hilton said we could write about a real disaster or we could use mythical creatures like pirates and sea monsters. We got to work straight away, using all we have learned about what makes good writing. By Wednesday we had finished our books. Some of us even drew on a blurb, prices and bar codes to make them look realistic. What do you think?
