Year 5 have been writing exciting battle scenes between a hero and a monster, inspired by our reading and study of the classic epic Beowulf. Children have tried to create paragraphs of action-packed detail and description. Here is a particularly successful contribution by Macie:

Andy tried and tried again… The monster grabbed him by the throat and threw him across the room. Andy felt paralysed – he couldn’t move, but he knew that he could not give up…
