Who do we give thanks to?

Adventure Stories

We are looking at adventure stories in our literacy lessons. We have all written our own sequel to the story Valiant. Here are a couple of extracts from the work written by Miss Cranmer’s group.

‘The Falcon came and grabbed Valiant. He swept up into the sky like a rocket. He threw him into a cage, but Valiant was both really brave and strong. He used his claw to open the old cage door’. (Reann)

‘Next, Valiant got his team together and went after Falcon with a great plan. Valiant said, ‘I am sick of your silly games. I am going to make sure that I win and that you are never seen again!’ Falcon decided to surrender’. (Robbie)

We will write the ending to our stories next lesson.
