Year 3 Creative Writing - First Line & Set the Scene

We are beginning to learn about story structure. With stories, we should
* Open with an exciting first line;
* Then use our descriptive skills to 'set the scene'

Write the opening six lines of the following adventure stories:

1. The Dragon's Cave

2. The Teenager and the Most Untidy Bedroom in the World!

3. The Beautiful Princess and Her Palace of Gold

For each of the titles write an exciting first line and then set the scene using our descriptive techniques. Here is an example by a Year 3 pupil from last year:

"I'm going to eat everybody!" roared the Dragon, breathing fire.
The Dragon lived in a simply enormous cave. The room was higher than a ancient church, and it must have been as big inside as a ship. The dragon slept on a bed of golden straw, but it smelt damp and musty. All through the day and night, bats whispered from the roof of the cave. It felt cold inside - until the dragon breathed out another flame.
