Read MoreAlien Egg at LPA!
Published 02/06/25In Year 2, the pupils thoroughly enjoyed their writing unit all about an egg they discovered on the school field. They wrote about what they thought could be inside the egg and used words to describe what it looked like. They were thrilled when the egg hatched and a strange-looking alien called Nanoo emerged. They wrote a letter to Nanoo to tell her all about life on planet Earth. Finally, they wrote an adventure story about Nanoo and her experience on Earth. Having such an exciting thing to write about meant that the pupils produced some lovely pieces of work. Well done year 2!
