To extend their writing skills, P6 looked at examples of character descriptions written by Roald Dahl.  They then identified what writing skills needed to be included: adjectives, adverbs and descriptive phrases.

Working in their register classes, they brainstormed ideas for their class novel character.  From this, they were able to write an opening paragraph to describe the main character’s personality.  They had to ensure they used their inferential skills to provide descriptions about the character.

Watch this space for the final pieces of writing.
