We remembered to use the describing bubble to support us which reminds us to describe size, colour, texture, position, number, shape and what our animal does.<\/p>\n<p>We explored the structure of description writing and learnt the names and purpose of the different sections in a description text.\u00a0 We have come up with hand signals to represent each section which will help us remind us about the order in which to build our descriptive pieces of writing.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we explored the language features of a description text, looking closely at the nouns, adjectives and pronouns, recording them in a grid that we can refer to later when writing our own descriptions.<\/p>\n<p>We will continue to explore this genre of writing further by writing description texts and exploring descriptive passages in our reading lessons.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"7422\"
