PRICELESS JEWELS FOUND BY SCHOOLBOY DETECTIVES
This week, we began our new ‘talk for writing’ text … Adventure at Sandy Cove. A mystery, adventure with lots of great suspense tools like:
- Short punchy sentences to add drama… Everything was quiet. What was it? They ran. Fast.

- Hiding the threat with empty words … Someone, something was there.
We learn about more writing tools to create suspense next week.
