The scene is set for the project and the children begin to design houses for their characters in the square.

Prime plots are filled quickly as the square takes shape.
But who will live there?
Miriam leads the workshop in schools to develop children's story writing.
Miriam reads "The Snoops"

in the story.
The children are divided into groups to create their own families to live in the square.
Families are created
The Children talk about the character they want to be in their family.
The children draw their character.
They add informatiom about their character to their picture.
After the workshop the children develop their characters further and create a description of themselves.
Year 2 and Year 6 Families get together to discuss a possible event in the square.
Pupils take their ideas home over half term to develop them further.
Then they meet with Year 6 to share and finalize their stories.
This helps the Year 2 pupils to extend their stories.
Story boards are made to record sequences of ideas for the stories.
Pupils act out their ideas to develop detail further.
The stories are put into books for all to read.
