In English, Oak Class learned how to build suspense within their writing. The children used a range of features to rewrite the battle scene from the Greek myth, The Hydra of Lerna. The children then worked hard to edit their writing, carefully considering how to uplevel their sentence, before publishing their finished pieces!
