Pupils designed their own creatures. They used dice to decide the features of their creations and descriptive writing…

Well done Sienna, this is the first example of 'Word Wizardry' that we have received. Words are very interesting if you start looking for patterns within them or researching the history of words. I wonder if, as you are reading children, you can spot words within words and let us know? Keep in…
