Extracts from our London Eye Mystery story

We have focused on the features of a mystery story. We wrote about a character that ended up in a different dimension after taking a ride on the London Eye! He had to tackle a strange maze and ended up finding a mysterious golden envelope which was addressed to the Prime Minister. The children ended the story on a cliffhanger……

Here are some extracts from their fabulous work!
