ANZAC Writing Super Sentences

Over the last two weeks as part of our ANZAC inquiry topic we have been exploring letters during the war. We read a book called 'Jim's Letters' by Glyn Harper. This story is a collection of letters from Thomas and his brother Jim who is away at war. We created a list of what we might write about if we 'at war' or 'at home'. We decided to focus on writing letters from the front lines to loved ones at home. 

Here are the super sentences this week. These sentences were chosen because they had great imagery and 'painted a vivid picture'.
