Modelled writing

We were shown how to follow a recipe today to make sure our descriptive writing is fantastic! What would we tickle pink Year Six?

Sharing our skills....

During the blizzard, we had a great lesson where we practised all the skills we've learned to use in descriptive writing!

Personification

I can use personification to create atmosphere.

Personification is when you give non-living things life-like qualities.

Bellowing through the tall treacherous trees, the wild wind approached.  Saskia

Screaming, the wind darted through the relaxing mansion. Leighton

Charging like a bull towards me, a treacherous, thunderous, snowstorm raged. Ibraheem+Hassan

The windows leaned within the mansion’s walls and peered straight down at me. Hamzah

Childline

Here are some tips for being safe out and about and online:

Always be near a trusted adult if you are near places you are not sure of

Never talk to someone you don't know online

If someone asks you to be your friend on an online game and that person is someone you don't know then never say yes

If there is something bothering you always tell someone you trust and if nobody is there to tell then call child line 0800 11 11 it's free, confidential and their always there to help, all day every day.

2 A sentences

We've been writing descriptive sentences that we could use in a description of a horror/spooky setting this week. We had to:
choose two nouns
form a sentence
and modify each noun with two carefully chosen adjectives.

Here are some of our sentences so far...

There were thick, thunderous clouds in the silvery steel, deserted sky.  Maria

Walking into the secret, haunted ballroom we saw the heavily patterned curtains.   Mariyah
