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.
While I was in the magic room I heard Mr R playing it, it was amazing well done 🙂
I though that piece of music was so tearful and sad! It really helped us develop our description though and it was especially fun making an introduction with IS, MW and ML! Especially IS”s part about the chunky fingers!!!!!!!
Wow! The work Mr R has now put up is really good especially the impassioned bit of the blue written one!
I love doing this group writing. It’s funny how,at the end, they look at each other.

I liked all doing the group writing and I think we work better as a team. I also think the description great.
