Fairytale writing - 6F

We revised the features of narrative writing this week in 6F, in the context of a fairytale. Here is the opening and build up of Laise's:

The Clock Tower

Once upon a time there lived a pretty ballerina (called Twinkletoe), who elegantly made time go around in the colourful, but boring, clock tower. She had a slender, elegant body wrapped in a flowing, purple dress with shimmering, metal cogs at the bottom. She had hair as red as roses, turned into a high bun with shining gold twirled around the bun. Her forlorn, gloomy eyes gazed around the clock tower as she twirled and swirled. Her tiny, graceful feet are like petals dancing in the autumn. Even though you may think her life is the best, she doesn’t think so herself; she thinks her life is the worst anyone could have.  The place below was the most colourful town you would ever see, that’s where Twinkle toe wanted to go! But something was stopping her…
          

Carefully, she looked out the glass window, down into the celebrating town. They were celebrating because of Clock Day. When she saw a balloon gently float around the sky, she wanted to leave the tower even more but she couldn’t. The town (Clock Town) was filled with the most beautiful fair in the world: balloons, music and generous guests. Do you know why she wanted to leave? Well... her brown shimmering eyes had spotted her true love! His name was Hans – a blacksmith that delivered cogs up to the tower. Whenever he came up she didn’t know what to say.
