We have been so impressed by their perseverance and determination despite some of the assessments being particularly tricky.

The children have discussed how this book makes them feel, considering what it would be like to leave everything behind, if they were a refugee.

Their descriptions have been spooky and detailed, included some great expanded noun phrases to describe how The Kraken devours its victims.
