WritingMission:30minutesToday you are going to write your own fairy tale! Don’t worry, this doesn’t need to be toolong, fairy tales are usually quite short. I would suggest one sentence per box of your plan –five in total! You might even want to spread this over two days – some today and sometomorrow, or start it today, rest your writer’s brain over the weekend, and then pick it up onMonday!You may want to make your fairy tale into a book, writing one sentence per page andillustrating (drawing a picture) to go with each one!Challenge yourself to use an exclamation mark if something bad or exciting happens, andsome story language that is often used in fairy tales like ‘once upon a time’ or ‘happily everafter’.Example:Once upon a time, a little boy called Bobby was walking in the jungle and found a house withan unlocked door. He went in and cheekily decided to bounce on the beds. One was toocreaky, another too fluffy, but one was just right. Suddenly, as Bobby bounced, the bed broke!Then the stripy, fierce tigers came home and roared at Bobby. He ran home and wrote them akind letter in his best handwriting to say sorry and they all lived happily ever after.
