We all love camping!

Introduction

AH! Mum screamed and we all quickly turned around to see what was wrong. I will never forget the look of horror on my Mum's face, or the biggest pile of birdpoo I have ever seen sliding down my Mum's nose.

This is one of my favourite camping memories! While my Mum wasn't very happy to be covered in birds poo, the rest of my family thought it was hilarious!

What does that mean?

What does a book sound like if it narrated by a character? What is point of view?

What do we use letters for? How are letters written? Is there a particular structure for a letter? What needs to be included?
