Reception Mystery Writing
17 May 2024
A strange package arrived in Reception on Tuesday morning. A box was delivered and placed outside one of the classrooms and when we opened it up, we discovered a green, cracked egg inside! We had no idea what had been inside the egg, but Reception girls were fantastic at using their imagination and writing their own version of events.
A few examples of their ideas were:
The postman delivered a crocodile egg but we don’t know what it was. We wonder what was in the box. It was a crocodile. It went to K1 and played with their toys.
A man brought a box. We didn’t know, but Miss Stokes brought it in. We opened the box. Then we sang a song. It was a caterpillar inside. It went to the vet all day but it was tired. He turned into a butterfly.
A man delivered a box to the classroom and we opened it and there was an egg and it was green so we looked at it and we thought it was a crocodile egg. We looked for it but we did not find it. We will keep the box until we find the crocodile.
We found a box with a green egg inside. I think the egg came from a Stegosaurus. Mrs Goodman brought the box upstairs. We opened the box and a dinosaur jumped out of the box.
We look forward to hearing more of the Reception girls’ creative writing and to hearing what was in the egg!
