Suspense in Year 6S

Year 6 started their new English unit this week when we immersed ourselves in suspense.  We have started to read Robert Swindells’ Room 13 to the children to give them an excellent model of suspense writing.  We all went into the immersion room where we imagined ourselves in a scenario where we had been abandoned outside a dilapidated house belonging to our unknown aunt. A house which was to be our home for the foreseeable weeks.  The children wrote beautifully describing their surroundings and their apprehension.  With only a week to go until SATs, the children have impressed us with their stoic attitude to their work. Well done year 6 keep it up for that final push.
