Fiction Genres

This week in Literacy we have continued to study fiction genres. Children have been attempting to use a series of events to write short paragraphs in different genres. Here is Azizah's effort. Can you tell which genre she is writing in each time?


A journey home from school


The school bell rang it was home time. Everyone rushed out of the classroom door and grabbed their coats and bags. We were just about to leave but then the wizard teacher, who was grooming his long white beard called us all back. “Wait you have to take your homework you must all learn all these spells by tomorrow for the big test.”Oh no I thought to myself just as soon as we all had got really excited. All the children took their homework and quickly ran out of the classroom and ran out of school . I skipped merrily out of the building and across the playground. I saw a group of young wizards siting down in little groups of six and practicing their homework spells. I ran out of the playground and out to the corner shop. I couldn't see the shopkeeper. I went and chose my best sweets and went to the till and suddenly out popped a small wood troll. The wood troll who was very short said “ £1.00 please” I gave him the money and sprinted out of the shops and onto the pavements. Out on the roads there were 1000s and 1000s of wood trolls they all seemed to be coming the same way as me. As fast as lightning I ran back and into my house.


I grabbed my books and pens and ran out of the classroom with my friends. Today had been a very weird and strange day there were two men following me and my friends round school all day. I sprinted across the playground with my friends and out of the school gates . The two men were still following me at first I thought that they were meant to be in school as security because our school was always getting broken into but now they they were following me out of the school gates .The two men were still following us down the road they were wearing black shades and a black suit with blue ties. There was a corner shop right by our school and all the kids went there. I went into the shops and bought a load of bubblegum for me and my friends. I paid for my sweets and quickly got out of the shop as it was very crowded. The two men were had caught my friends and were holding them by the arm. “ we are detectives there has been a murder at your neighbors house do you know anything about this?” “no I don't know I have been at school all day now can you please let go of my friends” I said . “ of course but we will have to talk to your parents”.
