Hello Year 3 using the work we have been doing in class on descriptive settings as well as the work we have done on senses and your knowledge of WOW words and other descriptive words, I would like you to describe a place in Prague that you know well, your description should be so good that even someone who has never been to that place would be able to feel like they knew it there.

Good Luck

The Escape King!


The Escape King

pick all sorts of locks. Knowing how to pick locks helped him to do even

more amazing tricks, and very soon he was called the "Escape King".
