This week Year 5 have been writing recounts about the events of the 1969 Moon Landing. The following extract has been written by James who has focussed on his use of openers and brackets this week.
Nearly half a century ago, Neil Armstrong became the first man in history to land on the Moon. During the 1960's, America was locked in an unforgetable race with the Soviet Union to accomplish this goal. It was termed the 'Space Race'. It was an extremely intense period of time with both countries determined to win.
Just before the Moon Landing, the US was shattered when they heard that the Russians had successfully sent a man into space (and had him return safely!). Despite the pain of this loss, the Americans remained resilient and President Kennedy undertook a promise that the US would transport a man to the Moon before 1970.
On the 20th July 1969 (now a well-known date!), three audacious astronauts, (Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins), set off on their epic quest to the Moon.
