In Literacy, we have begun writing a topic about an animation called The Piano.  The animation is about an old man who, whilst playing the piano, remembers different parts of his life.  We listened to Mr R play the piece of music whilst writing down how it made us feel.  We then watched the film in different stages, predicting the next parts and discussing the man’s feelings at different points in the film.  We read examples of writing which then inspired us to begin writing our own pieces based on The Piano.

We first wrote in groups of three or four on large sheets of paper, writing about the old man arriving to play his piano – the introduction to the story.  Have a read of these below.  To make them larger, click on each one.  Please leave a comment to let us know what you think of our writing.
