Over the past week we have been looking at the features of a newspaper article and how to plan a successful piece of writing so we thought we would give you another opportunity to write an article based on a photo. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words, or so the saying goes.
Your Task
Let the image below absorb you, let it tell you a story. Once you are sure you hear it in your mind, start jotting down the 'who, where, when, what, why and how'. Now I want you to write a headline and lead paragraph as a comment on this blog page. Try and use 'wow' adjectives and...... be creative!
