To continue our mythical writing, the artist of Cuba drew their own creature, using a water colour painting wash and felt tip pens. They then did a writing developing their creatures character. Look out for the effective verbs, show don’t tell, expanded noun phrases and adverbial phrases.

Read all about Zoe’s creature the Ashry:

While the silver moon rose, the untroubled Ashry positioned herself so she would see the moon rise in its full glory. Her snow-dusted roots sunk into the icy forest floor as a few diamond encrusted ice flowers melted on her branches. The thaws surrounding the clearing, in which she was standing were destroyed as soon as her wise roots touched them underground. The Ashry’s ‘arms’, if that’s what you could call them rose up above her head into the cold winter’s air, reaching out for the moon’s gold. the silver snowflakes danced across the moonlit sky like ballerinas across a stage. As they fell on the wise Ashry, the dainty ice flowers emerged into the thick bark of the tree fairy. The trees sung their swaying lullabies as restless animals became spellbound, under the Ashry’s control. Though a fairy with motherly love for her forest and people she could hush a million rabbits with one finger to keep the woodland as silent as the blue moon forever.
