This is some of the fantastic work Elm class have completed this week. Using various parts of creatures, Elm class were asked to design their own weird creatures. With the creature, they then had to use similar language, layout and humour found within your text to write their own entry.
They absolutely loved doing this! So we wrote to the author of the book that inspired us to say, “Thank you for creating such an amazing book, which has allowed these 10-11 year olds to see that writing non-fiction can be fun!”
We were super excited when he replied:
“This is the best! Thank you for sending. I especially love the Israeli blowhoaltopus! And the narlightapus, which can crush fishing boats. Haha. You have some amazingly talented kids in your class, and I definitely see some budding authors and illustrators.”
