Today Primary 5/6 were working on developing their characterisation in stories. One group was brainstorming adjectives that could be used to describe a troll and the other group was looking at the difference between direct and indirect character descriptions. We learned that indirect character descriptions are more interesting for our readers and we were practising writing these.
Today Primary 5/6 had (a very soggy) outdoor P.E. lesson. The class enjoyed it but I was glad to get back into the warm again!
