Good Morning everyone! I trust that you are all well! 👍🏼
🎉 Well done to RA, JH, CK, ZM and DM for being crowned yesterday’s Sumdog winners for answering the most questions accurately – enjoy your 200 coins! In addition to that, well done to MM, RA, ZM, HM and NM for using the Epic! app to practise their reading this week! 📖
Now, if the weather is a little iffy today and you don’t manage to get outside for some exercise why don’t you try the following 10-minute shake up to get yourself moving! 🏃♀️ 🏃♂️
Literacy:
This year in class we looked at how to create an interesting story setting, and this is what we are going to practise today!
Friday 5th June
Setting
I can create an engaging story setting.
Warm Up:
For your warm up today I would like you all to watch the BBC Bitesize clip on setting: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zpccwmn/articles/z8mqsrd.
Okay so, through the video we learned that a setting is where and when a story is set. When writing a story, the setting is really important. Thinking about these things will help your writing.
- Think about what the setting is like, is it day-time or night-time?
- How does the setting impact the characters?
- Can you picture the setting clearly? This will help you describe it to the reader.
A great setting helps you to create the mood and atmosphere of the story. Here is a great example of this:
Main Task:
Choose one of the following 7 settings and create a description of it.
How do you make your setting description more exciting? Add VCOP!
- Powerful verbs and adjectives
- Add connectives to make your sentences more complex
- Add powerful openers (The list of adverbs below might help you here!)
- Add a greater variety of punctuation. We were looking at parenthesis this week – add an example of that, add a list using commas to separate the items, add a question so you can use a question mark and so on!
- Additionally, remember that you can add similes and metaphors to spice up your writing even more!
- Finally, remember to think about your senses when writing a setting description.
Here is a planning sheet for a setting description that you should use to brainstorm before you begin.
Remember to read back over your writing to make sure it makes sense and to improve it where you can!
Extension:
💤 Here is a really boring setting description. Can you improve it?
Additionally, this is your weekly reminder that the David Walliams Elevenses site will be updated tomorrow with the chapters that he has been reading from ‘Bad Dad’ this week so if you are behind, now is your chance to catch up! https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses-catch-up/

🏰 Fancy visiting Edinburgh Castle today? You’re in luck…
A brand new 3D model from Historic Environment Scotland means that you can now explore the iconic Scottish stronghold from the comfort of your own home!
You’ll even get virtual access to parts of the castle that no visitors have been able to see for many years. I spent about an hour last night exploring all around the castle, it is really fun! https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/edinburgh-castle-b494fdf5e2754259bc90c536b18fcfff
